Maryland is (potentially) moving to the Big 10

Rutgers is following the Terps into the Big Ten.

Why are people all of the sudden acting like they never knew how much money dictated college sports? Money is the reason why Notre Dame is in the national spotlight, even though up until last year they sucked in football. Money is the reason why the ACC decided to add more teams, thus ending the home/home basketball series in what was once a basketball conference. Money is the reason why we will never see a college football playoff system.

Maryland Athletics was in a financial mess thanks to Debbie Yow and thanks for some bad decisions after there was some success in football. The move made financially and I really hope it works out for my Alma Mater.

i hope it works, but Maryland had a serious, serious spending problem. It was never the ACC, it was fully on Maryland and there money problem is there own making...its really a shame.

So the arguments I've been hearing so far is, this is good for the Maryland program because of, umm, well money?

UMD is/was one of the charter members of the ACC. That's a pretty big deal to me. It's a big deal that the school has severed competitive and academic ties with the likes of Duke, UVA, and Tarheel nation. Sorry if nostalgia and tradition matters to me, but it does. It's important. And this move fukcing stinks.

It helps them out financially, but in the long run it's going to make their football program even worse than what it is now. At least in the ACC they had some sort of a shot. In the Big 10, they have absolutely none. They'll continue to get curb stomped by the likes of Mich, OSU, MSU, Purdue, Wisconsin, Nebraska, and PSU.


I'll miss them beating Duke in basketball though. Always made me smile as a UNC fan. :)

Financial problems were due to Debbie Yow and the crazy spending that happened after the initial football success under The Fridge.

Tradition ended when the ACC decided to become a football conference and ended the home/home series with the likes of Duke and UNC.

As a huge Terps fan I can assure you that I don't give two shits about Pitt.

will you care about Iowa? Big 10 dont care about maryland sports, all they want is your tv market. What does Maryland sports program bring to the big 10?
