3 of those rumored schools I get, but why NC State?
KU is right on par with Notre Dame ... when it comes to adding additional conference revenue
Beer pro tip: never drink anything other than BL, coors, pbr, maybe a few others that I'm forgetting

North Carolina State University is a constituent institution of the University of North Carolina (UNC) system. According to The UNC Code, NC State shall have a board of trustees composed of thirteen persons: eight are elected by the UNC Board of Governors, four are appointed by the governor, and the remaining member is the president of the student government, ex officio.

University of Maryland poised to join the Big Ten
The proposal needs a simple majority of the board’s 16 members to pass. University of Maryland President Wallace D. Loh, who spearheaded the move, briefed the board on the proposal via telephone late Sunday afternoon.
When contacted by The Post, multiple ACC athletic directors seemed blindsided by the news, citing a lack of communication between the University of Maryland and the conference at large.“It’s a surprise,” one individual said. “No one anticipated this. I think it’s fair to assume that everyone is very surprised by it. The fact that there’s been minimal communication at this point with Maryland is an indication, probably, of the direction that it’s going.”
we need to get to that ridiculous 14 team 2 division play that results in 5 top 10 teams. don't really care who we add to get there.
ACC Apocalypse19 Nov, 2012Good morning and welcome to Air Expansion! I will be your guide to the coming ACC apocalypse. Please buckle your seatbelts and prepare for a bumpy ride.The festivities kick-off today with a vote by Maryland’s Board of Regents to withdraw from the ACC and join the Big 10 conference. This is just the first step in the ACC apocalypse but once Maryland has officially departed we can expect the end game for the ACC to play out something like this:Maryland, a charter member of the ACC, leaves the troubled conference for the Big 10.The SEC extends an invitation to Virginia Tech which the Hokies accept. The SEC will tell the nation they are happy with 15 and do not plan to expand to 16 anytime soon.Virginia Tech’s departure will cause UVA and Georgia Tech to accept invitations to the Big 10 which will bring the Big 10 to 16 members.Once UVA and Georgia Tech have announced the SEC will reach out and invite UNC. UNC seeing the writing on the wall with 5 ACC schools having announced departure will accept that invitation.FSU and Clemson will be livid at the implosion of the ACC and accept invitations from the Big 12. The Big 12 will also add Louisville and NC State to reach 14.The ACC will poach enough teams from the Big East to sustain itself as a viable basketball league.The Big 12 will decide 14 is hard to manage and add Miami and Pitt from the ACC to reach 16.The above is the most likely scenario according to my friends at WVU. Remember that WVU has close ties with Maryland and Ohio State’s president was formerly the president at WVU and has maintained his ties with Morgantown. Both Ohio State and Maryland have freely shared information with WVU about Big 10 plans.The key to this scenario playing out is the SEC’s desire to expand to 16 to allow them to correct their scheduling problems and expand their SEC network into Virginia and North Carolina. The SEC truly doesn’t care if they add UNC or NC State. They simply desire a North Carolina footprint and the NC TV market.The Big 12 has to give up the idea they can remain at 10 and continue their round-robin schedule. Expansion to 16 provides security for all and the money to offset any concern about expansion. The Big 12 really has no choice as it’s expand or die.Timing is not as important as everyone thinks. The above could play out by the end of the week or it could drag on over the winter and into the summer.Tomorrow I’ll explain WVU’s contribution to the downfall of the ACC with a timeline.

I hate this superconference trend.round robin was fun
This seems like the PAC-12 is kind of screwed, right? Their only options for expansion are Hawaii, Fresno State, San Diego State, Boise State, Nevada, UNLV, and Colorado State, right? That will just tank the conference
Guy on twitter yesterday RT'ed some Maryland dood saying that Maryland is very confident that the $50M buyout wouldn't hold up in court.
