Maryland Moving to Big Ten in 2014

It's official !! Your thoughts. I'm excited for basketball but football ugh....

Thank GOD! I wanted terps get the heck out of the ACC. But not in the Big Ten. I rather see them in the Big East conferance. I would love to see Maryland vs Georgetown rivalry.

Yes I think the Big East would have been better for sure but this is all about $$$$. If we're going to get our heads beat around consistently in ACC football, it might as well be the Big Ten where we can double our TV bucks.

Big Ten football really isn't that much better than ACC football.

I would resent it if the ACC was still the ACC. But now it's gunked up w/all kinds of schools that have no connection with its history and roots. Maryland is simply moving from one football conglomerate to another. That's all.

I would have to think the prospect of Ohio State, Michigan or Wisconsin playing at College Park would be a lot more exciting than Clemson, North Carolina or Duke

OSU aside, I think it was definite down year for Big Ten football
