Maryland and Rutgers to the Big Ten?

That's the speculation coming out of ESPN. It would be interesting if Maryland were to challenge the new $50MM exit fee on the grounds that they voted against it.

Just when you thought the conference realignment carousel was slowing down.

I heard this too. Interesting.

That would take the Big Ten to 14 schools, and drop the ACC to 13. It's a long shot, but with this move, what might the chances be that the Big Ten makes a play for Carolina and Duke to go to 16?

Ha. Your pretty boys wouldn't last a season in the big ten before you came crawling back with your tails between your legs. Keep dreaming.

Wish we would bolt for the SEC.

Excellent point KD. If Md were to bolt, you can bet there would be a lengthy litigation insofar as the exit fee is concerned. 50 mil would buy a lot of chicken feed!! I think we're just now seeing a pause in the conf realignment proceedings, with more to come. The conf commish's are just catching their collective breath, getting ready for round 2...or is it 3? Duke and UNC will never leave the ACC by the way. Md's exit would surely pave the way for UConn to head our way however.
