Maryland is 3rd in the Big Ten (behind only Michigan and Wisconsin) in R&D expenditures. Maryland is also 3rd in the Big Ten (behind only Michigan and Ohio State) in B1G championships since joining the league.

Turgeon had quit doing his job long before he literally quit his job. He was nearly fired last year but the optics were bad. It's tough to fire a guy following a Covid season who was a year removed from a (three-way) conference co-title. This explains why the extension Turgeon signed had such...

I have absolutely no reason to think this other than they are a quality AAU school in a massive market, but I've always thought the Big Ten would try to convince the University of Toronto to do what it needed to do for the conference to petition the NCAA to allow the B1G to add the Varsity Blues...

The thing with Rutgers is that it's not just a football problem. Rutgers has an athletics problem and a winning problem. The majority of their teams have finished in the bottom fourth of the standings in their respective sports since Rutgers joined the league. Wrestling is the notable...

It's always interesting to me that people rely on a line created by two lawyers in 1767 to define the north and south in 2016. Everything else about our country has changed since then, but folks cling to it. Central Maryland (the land between Baltimore and DC) constitutes most of Maryland's...

Maryland received a total Big Ten distribution of $36.1 million ($24.5 million base payment) during the 2014-15 school year. $32 million was the standard payout. $18.7 million went to Nebraska. Rutgers received about $10 million. $11.6 million of Maryland’s money included an advance on future...

Maryland's share goes down from the $35 million it recieved last year down to 50% (IIRC) of the previous number then it'll shoot up to the ~$50 million or so of the new contract in 20-21.

I think this is an accurate statement. I don't think anyone in their right mind would say MD is a football power. I just happen to think there's value in being good at all sorts of sports and took issue with the author of the blog post discounting its overall athletic success because it isn't a...

Maryland won more ACC football titles than any school not named FSU and Clemson. It was no Ohio State or Bama, but several ACC schools had football programs less successful than UMD's. I guess the internet's fact check feature is down.

The Maryland shot seemed unnecessary. Maryland and Michigan have both won 16 Big Ten titles since 2014. In that span, neither has won a men's basketball or football championship. So by the author's logic, U-M is also only good at sports the B1G doesn't care about? UMD finished higher in the...

They're claiming to be able to do a lot with $100 million. The New Cole Field House indoor football practice facility at Maryland is $155 million -- and that's just one project. Rutgers has a lot of ground to make up with its facilities.

This must grind Swofford's gears. I'm sure he didn't think he'd have to put up with a B1G logo (or BTN) on ND's campus.

What do you mean? Maryland has been in the 50ish-60ish range of US News for the last decade. There hasn't been much change in its ranking. UMD fairs better in other, more "academic" rankings, but there hasn't been much volatility there either.

There are random pockets of Big Ten country in the Baltimore region. I know of a MSU bar, a PSU bar, and two Michigan bars within 2-3 miles of the Inner Harbor. It's weird. Can certainly confirm PSU interest in this region, too.

I initially thought you were really playing up the whole pompous UVA role for sport, but you aren't playing. You're being emotional and irrational and letting your disdain get in the way of making a well-reasoned statement. First of all, Maryland left the ACC with more conference titles...

There's NO way this little experiment at Maryland will work out. I mean, come on. Does the only player ever dismissed by Coach K even deserve to play basketball again?

Confused. Maryland hasn't played UMass-Lowell.

It's been widely reported that Maryland will make $98 million more in its first six years as a B1G member than it would've made in the ACC. That gives you some flexibility. The Maryland AD was pretty clear during the presser that they simply have "more resources" and a different "economic model"...

The buyout is $500K. He also gets $2.1 million for 2016 salary. This is on top of the $12 million he's already gotten from Maryland in the last five years. I'm not shedding a single tear for Randy Edsall. It'll be interesting to see who Maryland targets. It's certainly a different job than it...

This was attempted before the MD/RU expansion. B1G pushed hard for it. The Pac-12 decided against playing ball.

Turgeon and Gabriel are meeting at Willbraham again this week. It's the fourth time Maryland and Wenyen have met in the last two weeks.

So because I have an opinion that differs from yours, I'm a child and moron?

I was in the office on the toilet, saw a post on a message board that I frequent fairly often, and replied. I was respectful and said nothing disparaging about Connecticut. What's the problem?

So wait....Calhoun paid guys?

Seriously? Gary Williams paying for players? When Gary was the coach, we couldn't get him to show in person to look at kids or talk to a AAU coach and our recruiting showed it. We had one "elite" class under him (turned out to be a clusterduck) and the rest of the guys he got were serviceable...

Debbie Yow, NC State's current AD, is how. The short version of a long story is she over spent by starting nonsensical programs like competitive cheer and paying Maryland's men's basketball assistant coaches less than their female counterparts. She built suites in the football stadium without...

To be honest, I didn't even pay attention to who initally posted the thread. I see the rub now.

Curious as to why you decided to not go with current Big Ten membership for this comparison. Maryland won 21 NCAA men's and women's titles in the last 25 years. Nebraska has 10 NCAA titles in that same span. That's a big chunk of data to omit from the current group of schools UConn is being...

Rutgers finished in the bottom third of the B1G in wrestling. Rutgers' best conference finishes were in women's basketball and women's soccer. Both finished fourth in the league and were the only Rutgers programs to post winning conference records. Five sports finished last in the regular...

Only because I'm curious, what constitutes a non-performer?

Winning in the B1G helped Maryland fans forget about the ACC pretty quickly. Winning 7 conference championships (5 regular season, 2 tournament) and 5 Final Fours in your first season definitely helps. Maryland fans are thinking about newly and soon to be announced athletic facilities upgrades...

Talk to a Hopkins grad or player. The Maryland game is the only one that matters. This isn't debatable.

What?? When you play at Hopkins or Maryland, the ONLY thing that matters is Maryland or Hopkins week. They've played each other more often than any other team. Md-Hop is definitely a thing.

Technically, Stone is the highest rates recruit Maryland has secured since last season when Trimble signed. With that said, Stone is the first consensus top-5 guy the Terps have signed in a loooooooong time. Remember, Gary Williams didn't go after highly rated recruits. Also, part of it is...

Current B1G schools' line is 18 FF 2 NC 10-16, but point well taken.
