It's all clear as day now

A move to any conference will have to be accompanied by a stadium expansion and upgrade. Ohio State is not coming to the Rent as is. A commitment to upgrade would suffice and then maybe a combination of big donors and state bonding.

I think if we had 50,000 - 70,000, which is apparently doable, then that puts on the map.

It is puzzling that MD and RU waltzed in through. We are on par with both academically although MD is very good. I just think that Rent. does not portray a good college game-day atmosphere. I have been to every game mind you but it's just MHO.

It's not puzzling that Md and Rutgers waltzed in. I've been saying UVa-Md-Rutgers-UConn to the B1G for a year. It makes too much sense, locks up the biggest markets and expands the money per team.

Now the trouble is the ACC disintegration could make even better possibilities available (UNC-UVa) and the Notre Dame wildcard may be up for grabs. They are competing with SEC and B12 for top ACC programs and may want to keep UConn as a backup plan while they wait on Notre Dame. Meanwhile UVa has a lot of politics obstructing a move. We don't control our timetable.
