holy crap.  what bug got up Maryland's ass


Also I wonder since the Big East is sinking faster, will Louisville make a bigger push to join the big12 and will there be renewed FSU to the Big 12 talk.

There's no bug, if you're in the crap ACC and the Big 10 calls, you answer.  Much smarter than those dumb hicks from the Florida panhandle.

Can you post something regarding the timing of this?  I  haven't seen anything definitive (like we'll ever know) but it seems like espn is saying the big 10 looked to Maryland, not the Terps self shopping to get out.  Is that accurate from what you've seen?

[Chico]

Evidently this is happening pretty fast.

The University System of Maryland's Board of Regents will meet at 9 a.m. Monday to vote whether to accept an invitation to join the Big Ten Conference, a source told ESPN.

While you're at it, follow Greg Swaim.  If you enjoy following someone who has no actual sources and is just making crap up as they go, you might as well follow two of them.

Lol, oh you thought it was for accurate insiders info? Wow.

Of course it's not for inside info.  But now that you have said that, I have gone and looked at it.  Dude's going of his rocker.  High entertainment. 

[chum1]

Yeah, he's going off again.  Saying FSU, Clemson, Louisville, and NC State to B12 this week as long as the B10 moves first or something like that.

[ednksu]

I doubt this
The Dude of WV ?@theDudeofWV
Let's be clear here. The B12 passed on their chance to be the mover & shaker. They have to hope it works out for them.


but i know our conference has pulled some kstate0 moves in the past.  I don't think the Animal would allow this to happen.  I think FSU pulled back, not the big 12.

[ednksu]

The Dude of WV ?@theDudeofWV
The Big 12 expansion committee meet last week & decided to approach FSU, CU, UL & NC St.

was the Animal in on this or another committee?

It's real possible if they got feedback from TV executives that told them that adding FSU and Clemson or Louisville would decrease the $ per school.

if you hang around on warchant.com (out powertards gopo by the way) they are firmly in the belief that FSU's admin bailed on jumping ship.

I think if you connected all of the dots last time around, the BOT was leaning on moving, the AD was kind of in limbo and not willing to rock the boat, and the President was all kinds of not interested in moving.

However, after watching a 1-loss FSU get jumped by God and everyone in the BCS rankings because they're in the ACC, I bet some of the power brokers at FSU are ready to move.

Holy moly, we are back in business boys...

Clumpson has also only lost once like two months ago and they can't crack the top 10, and the ACC is adding two more shitty football programs.  Also if Maryland leaves, UCONN comes in, bleak times for ACC football schools.

Clemson has lost once?

I didn't even notice.  They've been buried on ESPNU.

[OlatheWildcat]

This is terrible timing for the ACC too. Notre Dame just got their validation that they never have to join a conference in football.
