How do you get Maryland out of the Big 10?

Maybe they'll stop aspiring to Rutgers by then? And consider a place where they have a chance to compete. I know, crazy talk.

Outside of the random inclusion of Maryland that would never happen, here are a couple observatons:

1. The top ACC brands will not be in the ACC much longer, and would thus not be available for this "consolidaton".
2. The net worth of the Big 12 and the remaining ACC schools isn't enough to elevate either conference, even if they were consolidated. They are both worth about the same with or without each other.
 
Haven’t watched yet so I have no comment at the moment (other than probably not true; grain of salt and all that), but headline says “source: big 12, acc merger plan completed” and some teams getting left out.

Ugh never mind. They’re discussing the Basement Dweller of West Virginia’s tweet right off the bat so not going to watch any further lol

lololololololol

Once again the Locked On network embarrasses itself.

And that is not a comment on Matt who is doing a good job having taking over the UConn Locked On stream.

But the flagship B12 coverage by this "network" is just hilariously bad.
 
If there is a merger of the B12/ACC, I think its much more likely all the schools stay and this unwieldly beast doubles down on the ACC eyeballs formula for distributing the revenue. In football and basketball, they might need to divide into an A and B pool with internal relegation. For all other sports they could benefit some by a minor reshuffling by geography to save on travel. Regardless, unless a school voluntarily withdraws, I don't see a politically viable way to cull the heard in the process if the ACC/B12 heads lead the charge.

That said, I suppose Miami/Clemson/FSU could agree to form a new conference on their own and invite who they want from the ACC/B12 pool. I suppose that is a scenario that could unfold in about 5 years. It went well for WSU/OSU with the P12 rebuild. :(

If this happens in conjunction with the media deals expiring, then it really doesn’t matter. The same way the Catholic schools left The Big East, schools from ACC and Big 12 could form their own league and leave some schools out.

Yep. The demise of the old SWC saw schools like Rice and TCU and Houston get left behind.
