Terrapin Times says MD BOG voted to go to Big 10

Can't find a link for the story, but the main page strongly implies it. Here it goes.

Twitter is blowing up right now with a 3p ET conference to announce.

 

[MattMang23]

I have the local DC radio channel on at work right now. They haven't announced the vote yet but I trust a Terrapin source more.

Perfect...acc counters by offering rutgers. RU's leadership likes ACC more. Uconn takes RU's B1G invite...the rest is peachy.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

lots of confirmation. Press conference at 3. Not sure what next steps are for ACC. Do they have a vote? have they already had one?

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Not one of my more productive mornings.

Domino number 1 has fallen

If Maryland voted against the B1G, they'd have hell to pay. Their football stadium is half empty these days (like ours), and they'll need the B1G's traveling fanbases to buy them up!

The next step is the ACC's call to Bristol.

I think that was the only domino. I don't think Rutgers going to the Big Ten changes the ACC's thinking much.

 

[EROCK CONN]

Washington Post just reported that Marylands student government endorses the switch which means abosolutely nothing other then a rubber stamp on the formality of the move.

I always thought Edsall was destined for the Big Ten... PSU, OSU, Michigan... I guess he finally got there.

Jeff Ermann of InsideMDSports reporting it approved. Presser at 3.

He's not there yet.

Some things you can't say no to. B1G invite is one.

A source with knowledge of the situation told InsideMDSports that Maryland's Board of Regents has decided to move forward with a move to the Big 10 Conference.

Not one of my more productive mornings.

I've had so many of these since Cuse and Pitt left. I wonder how much money conference realignment has cost the county. Maybe the president can add that to list of reasons why the economy isn't his fault.

I wish this could be true. Unfortunately RU is in the same boat MD is in financially. Even if they weren't... $$$ talks.

Did we just stumble on a new slogan...#losemoneyharder?

I think as a UConn fan you hope to hear rumblings that the ACC has contacted Uconn about joining sooner rather than later.

Not going to worry about anything until the members meet and we don't hear something after that.

I'm of the opinion if espn is reporting we are the likely candidate it was already worked out...I'm unusually optimisitic right now though so who knows
