Why would the University of Florida move ????

If Florida leaves the SEC, then FSU will move to the SEC and get first choice on many top recruits.

The Big Ten and its broadcast partners want Notre Dame--even though it is not an AAU member school.

The Big Ten would accept Texas in a heartbeat.

Beyond Notre Dame and Texas, all other schools are speculation.

West Coast schools such as Stanford, Cal, Oregon, and Washington are being considered so that USC & UCLA can have regional playmates. Stanford is also attractive since it has a traditional rivalry with Notre Dame--and the Big Ten really, really, really wants Notre Dame.

Stanford is for the #5 media market. They are going to be asked plus maybe Cal. Then the BiG has NYC, LA, Chi, DC/Balt and SF/Oak. Checkmate for dollars.

Google search shows Dallas/Ft. Worth as the #5 media market, then San Francisco area at #6. Georgia Tech offers the Atlanta media market and an in-road to one of the top football recruiting states (Texas & Florida may be the top 2 football recruiting states. California should be among the top 5).

Interesting but Atlanta is 90 percent for UGA. That market is not big enough to be split .

As long as cable packages and mandatory RSN are a thing, location is all that matters. Do you think the majority of NYC cares about Rutgers football? Even in DC, UMD gets terrible ratings. All that matters is forcing cable companies to carry the big 10 network. Once cable dies, the question is whether or not the outliers like UMD and Rutgers that don't really fit get jettisoned.

The cable packages are why the B1G bent over backwards for UMD which has taken the ACCs most valuable school and subsequently destroyed the ACC

+1. The Big just took LA and SF is next. That’s the top 5 media markets UMD brings the Big Ten show to a stadium inside the DC beltway and no competition for hundreds of miles.

No schools would ever get “kicked out” and if they did it would be Purdue, Northwestern( Illinois duplicate), Michigan State.

UMD brings a perfect market and is the 3rd biggest research budget in the conference.

It’ll be great for UMD if Snyder moves the Burgundy and Gold to way out in Prince William County. That way the Big Ten show is the main big time football inside the DC beltway.

Have you been to a sports bar around here on a Saturday afternoon? Maryland isn't even the most represented Big Ten school let alone a school without competition.

Meanwhile, Ohio State fans are like locusts! If the Buckeyes are playing in your town, they'll fill up your stadium and your bars.

Locusts is the operative word. Ohio State fans are very good travelers. Of course if I lived in Ohio, I would be looking for any excuse to travel outside of the state.

Good God.. it looks like UMD is going to get over 100 million a year as this deal matures and the ACC at 30 million. It’s crazy. It seems that the only ACC school that at least could maybe get in is UNC since it is at UMD level research budget. The rest are totally screwed.

I feel bad for Uva and UNC that could be stuck in the ACC with that horrible iron clad contract through 2036.

Aren't the sports programs a net negative for the university? I mean the stadiums alone cost more than this.

Yes, they've always been a drain on academics. Seems like a bad idea really.

I always thought this was a strange marriage and colleges would be better without it.

It’s branding. Big time sports increase applications. Yes they tend to spend all the money on sports and sometimes more than they make. UMD is good in the preppy sports .. lacrosse, field hockey, soccer, basketball. Gonna be more of a force in football with the gushing money.

Only if you're not any good at academics. Getting more dumb people to apply is usually not helpful.
