So Maryland couldn't win anything in the ACC then go to the B1G and win in sports that no one cares about.
The B1G adding Rutgers & Maryland could be a major problem when cable dies.

Are you sure that you want to go on the record as saying that no one cares about Women's Basketball.
Actually, Maryland had the second most all-sport championships in the ACC, trailing only UNC.
Maryland also had the third most football championships in the ACC, trailing only FSU and Clemson.

They won a National Championship in MBB while in the ACC??
Oh give me a break, do you call barely making it into the NCAA with 13 losses good? Including a loss to hapless Boston College. They have not had a really good team since 97. During that time UCONN managed to win a few National Championships IIRC.

Maryland went 2-23 against FSU in the ACC. And did win one ACC football championship since FSU joined in 1992....that one great season in 2001 (the Terps still lost by 21 points to FSU).
FSU lost two conference games that year while Maryland lost the one to FSU

OT....
You have to love a team like Davidson...who just knocked off a national seed twice at their own field to go to a Super Regional...and with just three baseball schollies.
Been a while, but Steph Curry took their BB team on a Cinderella ride to the Sweet 16 back in 2008.

It's a great run - hope they make a ton of noise. To clarify - Baseball is an equivalency sport w/ a maximum of 11.7 scholarships awarded @ D1 level. Only three of Davidson's starters and 12/13 other players on the roster (out of 35) are getting any "baseball money" from Davidson’s baseball scholarship resources. Partial scholarships tend to be the norm in college baseball.

This is what you said: "What's really disturbing is how former national powers like St John's, Providence, and Georgetown have fallen off a cliff since the breakup of the old Big East."
How has the NBE been worse than the OBE for Providence? That was the point of your post......

Not at Davidson....You don't quite have that down....
The odds are stacked against him and Davidson every year (not that he complains, mind you). NCAA Division I baseball teams get a maximum of 11.7 scholarships to divide among their 35 players.
That’s the maximum. The Atlantic 10 schools with which Davidson competes average giving nine baseball scholarships per school, according to statistics supplied by Davidson.
And the Wildcats?
They give out less than three total baseball scholarships among those 35 players, and then they cut up those three scholarships into roughly a dozen pieces. That means two-thirds of Davidson’s baseball players – as well as two-thirds of the starting lineup and the likely starting pitcher against UNC in the NCAA tournament game Friday night – receive no athletic scholarship aid .

Isn't that essentially what I said? One third of of starting lineup = 3.
... and this source has slightly different #/s than yours. >>"Consider the roster. By Cooke’s count, only three of his starters and 12 to 13 players on his roster are getting any baseball money from Davidson’s limited scholarship resources".<<

What does UMD's all time record against FSU in football have to do with the stats that the poster listed? I won't bother to look it up, but I'd wager most ACC Members outside of Miami have a *** all time record against FSU in football. UMD's head to head record with FSU in one sport doesn't discredit the stats he listed or change the fact that UMD has a very strong all around athletic department.

While true that Maryland's record against Florida St. in football was atrotious, they have held their own and more against Florida St. in other sports. Billybud has mentioned the football record many times before. Rufus post clearly did not say football only, so I'm assuming Billybud's post wasn't made to challenge Rufus's post, but rather another opportunity to take a pointless cheap shot. Just like it would be if I stupidly and inappropriately posted Maryland's record against Florida St. in other sports countless times on a UConn board.

I have always hated having Maryland on the football schedule....a non game. I am consistent in that feeling.
When you mention Maryland, that is the thought that most Noles have right off the bat. First and foremost.
It may anger some...but most FSU guys did not like Maryland on the schedule. It is what it is.
Basketball, at FSU, has seldom been a sport that has been competitive in the ACC.
Football is the driver sport down here..FSU doesn't even sport a men's soccer team nor lacrosse teams. Or wrestling, field hockey etc.
Baseball? Who keeps track of over all baseball records? The only thing that I remember about Maryland and baseball is that it was at Maryland that the all time record for home runs was set...at any level, high school, college, or pro.
Marshall McDougall hit six home runs and had 16 RBI's and 25 total bases in a nine inning game at Maryland. All NCAA records. It has a place in our lore.
Glad that Maryland is having success in men's soccer, lacrosse, and field hockey....

Until Clemson woke from their near 30 year slumber and decided to play football again, FSU was the biggest outlier in all of college athletics. Sports you clearly don't care about such as basketball, soccer, lacrosse, and field hockey all matter to the majority of both old guard ACC Members, and to the majority of the new additions as well. That original member UMD values those sports and has historically been pretty good at them should be no surprise. What their H2H Football Record against FSU had to do with this discussion is something only you'll understand I guess.

So will Rutgers....
The Big 12 members also make more money than FSU, Duke, UNC, etc.
When they give championships out for revenue...Texas will win the NC every year.
But FSU does bring in more athletic department revenue than the majority of Big Ten teams....

Ldandy...there is a sports divide in the ACC...the "old guard" that you mentioned versus some others...the southernmost group.
FSU, Clemson, Miami, and GT do not have men's soccer, nor do they field lacrosse or field hockey teams...so, little to no interest in those NCAA sports.
Alabama, Auburn, Georgia and other SEC schools also do not offer men's soccer, or lacrosse or field hockey....there is a regional difference in sports and their emphasis.

Clemson does have a men's soccer team but your overall point is true in that you have schools with a broad based athletic philosophy similar to the P12 & football centric schools more like the SEC

First of all I have no problem with my team play different levels of competition, but that is completely beside the point. Even if it were true, I wouldn't pollute another school's board and choose irrelevant times to make the point for the umpteenth time. Your talking points might be appropriate on a Florida St., but I don't think I'm going out on a limb in guessing that you had to be told by fellow Noles fans to turn it down a few notches.

LOL......My bad...I meant to say that Clemson had a men's soccer team but no field hockey...
Yes...the southernmost ACC teams are more akin to the SEC than they are to Tobacco Road re AD philosophy.
Some do not realize that part of the tension that built up around 2012 was caused by that split among the ACC.

I'm sure they do, but once again, you completely missed the point. It's more about how to conduct oneself on a board like this. My guess is you are just as clueless there as well.

If the subject is Maryland...what does a UConn board have to do with Maryland's record in the Big 10?
I guess I can see a link.
If someone brags about Maryland's success in such sports as soccer, lacrosse, and field hockey...sports non existent in some of the deep south schools...and a ACC poster basically responds that football is the el supremo index to these southern schools...does this have anything to do with UConn?
Maybe it it does now and has in the past.

This is a conference realignment board. There is talk of what may happen in the world of CR. The article this thread started on was based on the fact that, due to the way sports is being broadcast, the Big10 may have made a mistake in bringing in Rutgers and Maryland. The changing media impacts who potentially could be added. This is completley involves UConn as they are looking to get into a better conference and their basketball tradition and media market are their tickets. Their athletic success, both in the ACC and the Big10 were discussed, albeit briefly. The article even said that Marylands athletic department is horrible and this was a rebuttal to that point. Bringing up their issues in football was a valid point.
What doesn't involve UConn is your repeated boasting how great FSU football was against Maryland and how much you loathed playing them. You are flinging your poo in someone else's house. You don't continue an arguemet with your wife in someone else's house. You also don't go eat at someone's house and say your cooking is way better than theirs, even though it might be. It's rude and annoying. This is UConn's house, not FSU's or Maryland's. If the natives are telling you to cool it, than be respectful and do as they ask.
