Maryland and Rutgers to the Big10

[CincyEngGrad02]

Rumor is UofL and UCONN will go to the ACC after Maryland and Rutgers go to the Big10.

Is the B12 stable? Didn't Texas almost leave last year?

Football would struggle in the B12 I think. WVU falls to 2-5 in conference play after winning the BE (in a 3 way tie-breaker) last year.

Basketball would be fine, but the B12 is no BE conference.

In all honesty, we would probably be better off in BE ...aka... CUSA 2.0. That assumes the basketball only teams don't jump to other conferences like the ACC.

I don't think the ACC will add any BB only schools. ND is the lone exception for obvious reasons.

[RedRocker]

Don't know about everyone else, but I'm getting a little fed up with all this conference re-alignment k___. Even though we lost, we still had a good football game today.

I just want to enjoy the rest of the season. Can't they hold it till later? Whoever they is.

Agreed. I'm tired of this crap. Let's just get it all over with instead of every year, there is more conference raiding.

I feel like banging my head against a wall.

All I know is that if Rutgers and UConn leave, UC and UL need to get the heck out of the BE ASAP.

I read an article yesterday (sorry, don't have the link anymore) where it stated that North Carolina may move with Maryland to the Big 10.

You sound like the faculty circa 1987....

Yes, but that was just frustration talking. I'll be better tomorrow and in my seat on Friday night.

If all this comes down and we are the odd man out at the end, maybe we should just drop football and dedicate our resources to basketball. I'm really fed up with all this s___.........

It's amazing how a few hours ago nobody knew anything about this and now this guy has St. John's and Georgetown in the ACC. Wild speculation begins.....

I am at the point with this stuff, that I am starting to worry that we will wont have a good spot for basketball.

ESPN seems like it has a conflict of interest. But, then again, who cares - their reporting has steadily declined over the past decade.

It does seem a little fishy that this is happening now that the exclusive BE negotiating window with ESPN has expired. I wouldn't put anything past ESPN at this point.

Sorry....AND their credibility

I'm thinking this is B.S.

1. Maryland A.D. is broke. Where are they going to get 50 million exit fee monies? I doubt Plank or whatever his name name will fork that much over.

2. ESPN is upset about losing the BIG EAST contract so they are at it again to destroy the conference.

3. UCONN to ACC might get blocked again. Miami hates them for UCONN heading the lawsuit against Miami leaving, and Boston College doesn't want to share the New England area with them.

If UCONN, UL, and Rutgers are gone, then the BE is a joke and is indeed CUSA. WE can only hope that the Bearcats could get into the ACC OR B12.
