Not really. When you think about it, we're heading to about 4 20-team superconferences, at least for football.

What's with that? Where's the buzz from those schools?

[J.C. Watts]

I don't get it. I don't think they bring the eyeballs and they simply
do not fit.

[The Cheesehusker, Trade Warrior]

Yeah - just not seeing it at all. Seems like a lame attempt to get
the DC/NYC markets - but there's nothing those schools add.

[michael anderson]

agreed....probably the 'source' was within the maryland athletic dept.

Another main issue, though, is that even if they did maryland has a 50 million dollar buyout from the acc.

Fifty million.

That alone makes it a no go. 10 and maybe even 15 million dollar buyouts are feasible. Maybe 20. Not 50.

Once again, for college football: there is no NYC market.

Once again, a small rating among 20 million is still a lot viewers.

Sure. But it will never be important, like getting serious coverage on
sports radio or in the local media.

With all the tradition of Maryland in ACC basketball, I find
it hard to believe they'd dump all that to move to the Big Ten. And
Rutgers? I grew up in New Jersey, and I don't know anybody who went
to Rutgers.

Oh right, so if Duke gets invited to the Big Ten, it's just
going to up and dump North Carolina and the ACC, because who cares.
Riiiggggtttt.

I'm beginning to think *you* don't matter in any of this.
You started the thread deriding the proposal, what the hell is your
point?

I think it's nuts based on tradition, but tradition doesn't carry the
water anymore - which is more than obvious. I don't know why you're
getting nasty about it.

Still shaking my head over Maryland and Rutgers tho - they're not good
school academically and suck at most sports - and for the fans in the
western part of the league really hard games to go to. Not interested
in going to either of those places as a Badgers fan - if I want to go
to DC or NYC, it wouldn't be as part of a college football trip

You are naive. If the ACC ends up losing FSU and Clemson, and the Big
Ten decides to add a couple more and invites UNC, you think UNC is
going to stay in the ACC because of a couple basketball games with
Duke???

There is one thing - both schools are AAU members - so there is that.

what people don't seem to realize around here is that if UNC is so hot-
to-trot to play Duke every year, then they schedule it as OOC.
It's not like UNC can never ever ever play Duke again if they go to
the Big 10.

Hell - just take 'em both - Duke would be a good foil for Northwestern

I admit I didn't know how bad MD was doing financially -- dropping
7 sports is pretty serious. The tipping point is alumni contributions vs.
TV revenue, and if any of the NC schools consider leaving, that will be
a different equation.

I was suprised by that too.

[Kyle T. Jones]

Pitt is as well - just feel like they're a better fit than either of
these teams.

This just smells like expansion for the sake of expansion - or, as the
smug have been pointing out, expansion for the sake of the all important
Big Ten Network footprint.

I feel like most of the people on the blogs - damn sure don't like the
idea of playing Wisconsin and PSU even less often so we can add Rutgers
and Maryland to the mix. Ugg. The only fans that seem to be having a
favorable reaction to this are the PSU folks. Double-ugg.

Cheers.

Penn State fans know that this type of deal comes with a reach around.
