Big 10 Report: Conference Realignment
A source in St. Louis familiar with the situation told NewsCenter 16 Thursday afternoon that Missouri will leave the Big XII and soon join the Big 10. Other schools expected to follow the Tigers are Syracuse, Pitt, Rutgers and Nebraska.
Many have speculated that such an expansion would include Notre Dame but ND athletic director Jack Swarbrick told me today that the Irish prefer to stay independent in football and in the Big East for other sports. Swarbrick said maintaining football Independence is such a part of what Notre Dame is. He went on to say the Big East is a great partner for the University in other sports. "We do have to monitor what is going on," Swarbrick said. "There will be significant shifts. "Hopefully we can navigate them by keeping our football independent and keeping our Big East affiliation because that is what we care about." The move of Syracuse, Pitt and Rutgers to the Big Ten from the Big East could categorically change the landscape of the Big East itself. Thus, what Swarbrick is referring to when stating the University must continue to monitor what is going on. The interview with Swarbrick was done before the late afternoon announcement. http://www.wndu.com/sports/headlines/92447574.html Last edited by Mr. Laz; 06-10-2010 at 02:57 PM.. |

ND, just like every school, likes $$$$$. Their NBC contract is less than what most BCS conference teams receive now. If they joined the Big 12, they could increase their annual revenue by $15-20MM. |

I'm telling you, Nubbs don't care about the Big 12. They left a year ago. They absolutely don't care.

Any conference with Texas and ND would be incredibly stable.

Unequal revenue sharing would be an ATTRACTIVE feature to a program like Notre Dame. Why do you think they've been independent for so many years and they didn't join the Big Ten twenty years ago? They want more money, not equal with other conference members. They would also get to keep their NBC contract in the Big 12, instead of falling in-line with the Big Ten contract. |

Really ya think OU wouldn't get tired of playing 3rd fiddle. You do understand that you are asking the other schools to now play not only under UT EGO But ND EGO as well. & UT Ego would take a back seat to ND ego. & that would never work!

Do you really think the conference cared about the other cross-division rivalries? I know that Iowa\Nebraska is a timeless affair and all... Stop kidding yourselves if you think that its any different.
