Maryland to the B10

[DaveHuskiesFan]

It's blowing up all over twitter. They've voted and approved the move to the B10. Time for the dominoes to fall.

Crossing my fingers but I'm certainly not counting my chickens yet.

so they're paying the 50 million exit fee to become non existent in the big 10? with rutgers going tomorrow also... now does uconn go or do we take another team?

rumor is the CEO of under armour cashed like 60 million in stocks to pay the exit fee

Agreed, but I, for one, will #begharder if it will help.

So how would everyone feel about staying in the Big East still or going to possibly the ACC...

The big east is a joke now, watching them struggle to keep their teams is like watching someone try to catch water in a sieve. We gotta get out. But I don't wanna jinx it.

We should be burning up the lines to the B10.

Our New York presence is as big as Rutgers.

We also have a Boston presence.

We also have a Bristol, Connecticut presence.

We are a better university with a higher upside than Rutgers.

Our football program has a bigger upside especially with a B10 membership.

We are nationally relevant in basketball with numerous NCs.

The include of UConn would lift women's sports in the B10.

So now I'm hearing all this stuff about the ACC being the next conference targeted for poaching. Are we just leaving one gutted conference to join one that's soon-to-be-gutted?

If Florida State leaves (they're the school other than Maryland that voted against the $50 million exit fee, and supposedly could join the SEC) that could start another domino effect. And you know the big 10 has to have their eyes on north carolina.
