Is Maryland about to become the "southern most" team in their conference?

Is there talk about Maryland going to the Big10?

Big ten revenue sharing is 24.6 million per team.50 million buyout for terps to leave ACC. New AD has no ties to ACC but Chancellor Kirwan is a charter member.

Tell you what, if this thing comes down to a choice between staying in the ACC by dropping baseball and a few more non revenue sports vs. keeping those NR tteams afloat and going to the Big 10, what do you think the vast majority of Terp alums wold want? Overwhelmingly folks want to stay in the ACC -- at any cost, even dropping teams!

This is where the rubber meets the road. It's about the $$$ and MD can't pay it's bills much less compete with the "drag" of NR sports and a football program that is woeful and can't carry the load.

Large infusions of Big 10 TV revenue $$ makes this sad reality a very likely money grab for MD and an end to great tradition -- especially painful to Md basketball fans -- wow, no more Duke, UNC unless it's in the ACC / Big 10 Chalenger next Thanksgiving.

I think I would fly from BWI to Detroit and drive to Ann Arbor for a three game sweep should the lowly Terps take on the lowly Wolverines. Tickets at will call. Are you in?

The topic of how things can change abruptly for a college player once he's arrived comes up a good bit here; but, I suppose there are instances when an entire coaching staff can be subject to that, as well.

One day these guys thought they were coaching an ACC program. The next day, maybe not.

The college landscape continues to change, and baseball has no choice but to tag along for the ride.

I have enjoyed fifty years of watching talent within ACC Baseball.

Not sure what my expectations are for watching Big10 Baseball.

I remember driving to watch games near Penn State.
I think I prefer the warmer trips to the Research Triangle.

I suspect FSU to change conferences.

Let's do this for the dollars.

Bottom Line: The similarities are different.

Kevin Plank (Under Armour) filed with the SEC to sell $50MM in stock. What's the exit price of the ACC again?

Under Armour may be welcomed to the Big10 which has been dominated by Addidas, New Era, others.

With UA across Big10 Athletics, Plank probably sees $50B in sales, and soon.

The Nikes, Under Armours, ESPN's et al are going to keep altering the landscape until they've ruined college athletics. At some point, people begin to realize that it's nothing but a money grab by all parties involved. The price of tickets, gear, and everything else will continue to escalate until the average Joe can no longer afford to enjoy the college sports he once cherished.

This is where our current "visionaries" are leading us.

B1G: Even the label has become a parody of a once-proud...and logical...past.

Very sad. 1.Coach walks out from Program, 2. Program threatens to drop and 3. Program moves to conference where they are going to be the most southern college. No recruit that has options will consider Maryland and play in freezing weather.
