[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maryland should be in the ACC.  Another bonehead realignment driven by college football money and nothing else. Now the all the small sports have a travel schedule that looks like men's basketball.  Stupid.  [/quote]

You haven't been paying attention.  The ACC has morphed into the Big East ( yuck ).  UMD is a  950 million dollar a year research institution ( 3rd in the US  behind Hopkins and Michigan ). The CIC increases potential by creating a super university of like minded and cooperative state flagship research giants plus Hopkins (the biggest) Northwestern and U of Chicago .  The fact that the B1G doubles the revenue of the athletic dept compared to the ACC is just a nice bonus.  The ACC  is a mishmash of schools of differing sizes, goals, interests and objectives and has been geographically cut in half with its best TV market surgically removed by the Big Ten.  It's days are numbered, UMD got out ahead and doesn't have to concern itself with the ACC's problems .  If the administration didn't take the Big Ten offer they would have to be nuts.[/quote]
