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.
 
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.
 
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?

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!
 
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.

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

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.
 
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
 
Baltimore Sun has the whole story

Maryland's application for Big Ten admission approved by presidents


Maryland's application for admission to the Big Ten has been approved by the conference's Council of Presidents, making the university's move official. Elizabeth Conlisk, the vice president of communications for the Big Ten Network, confirmed the news publicly shortly after 10:30 a.m. Patricia Florestiano, the first Maryland regent to arrive at the University of Baltimore this morning, confirmed the vote to move to the Big Ten. She cited financial and academic considerations as reasons the decision was made. "We've got to look to the future," she said when asked whether there had been strong sentiment against leaving the ACC.
