New Big 10 Divisions

[84Deac]

we also haven't played Penn State like once in forty years (or something) so they don't count. They wouldn't play us when we were good in the 70s and 80s,

[awaken]

I haven't met anyone who didn't love the Maryland for Louisville trade.

 

[Shorty]

Wow. MD/PSU is almost Clemson//UNC-like.

 

[wsc8521s]

Think you mean Clemson/UVa

 

[Shorty]

Think you mean Clemson/UVa

No.

 

[Wakeforest22890]

Hey you guys tied that one time.

 

[Shorty]

Hey you guys tied that one time.

And they beat them just 53 years ago.

 

[09deaconX]

As a Northwestern fan and someone living in Chicago, I can tell you that no one I've met from any Big Ten school here is even remotely excited about having Maryland join the conference. So meh.

 

[wsc8521s]

No.

Ah, duh, you meant hoops. Had football on the brain.

None of the Maryland fans I spoke with at the ACC tournament were pleased with the move to the Big Ten. There might have been some but not in the random sample of ACC going MD fans I spoke with.

 

[Milhouse]

go away terps and take your inferiority complex with you. enjoy your wednesday trips to iowa city.

Losers

 

[Milhouse]

JDawg, you're better than this.

no he isn't. he's a terp.

 

[JDawg]

Is it? I've never seen any evidence that playing games in a state helps recruit in that state.

that would be an interesting study actually. like others coaches say it helps, but who knows just how strong of a correlation that goes

I'm not trying to rub your nose in it; honestly, I'm curious what the rank and file Terp fans think. Can you speak for the sentiment of the fanbase: good move, great move, or WTF?

a bunch of us love it. the basketball-only guys don't necessarily like it, but understand

Sorry...just had to call bullshit on this bit of revisionist history

whoops, before my time. I was just going off what I remembered.

None of the Maryland fans I spoke with at the ACC tournament were pleased with the move to the Big Ten. There might have been some but not in the random sample of ACC going MD fans I spoke with.

a lot of the people that went down for the last ACC tournament were ACC loyalists :noidea:

It has to be disappointing for the region rivals in the division to know they invited Maryland solely because of the potential TV markets they can bring in. Otherwise, they add nothing to the conference.

We have the most recent national basketball championship in the Big Ten, 2nd-most when football is included :woot:

Mind if I ask why? The reigning BCS champ is an ACC school. The ACC has won, what, five NCAA MBB titles since the Big 10 has won one? At best it's a lateral move in terms of competitive.

What the heck happened financially that was so bad? If Ron Wellman can tread water after the last four years, post-Deacon Tower and still have enough coin to buy the Joel, how did Deficit Debbie screw the pooch coming off at National title and BCS game? I don't get it.

What I've gleaned from SVP is "Well, this ain't your father's ACC; we never play Dook and UNC as often as we used to."

And?

 

[JDawg]

basically she ballooned sport enrollment, we're one of the few schools that are fully title IX compliant, and balanced budgets by borrowing from the reserves until we basically didn't have any and used tricky accounting practices (example: 20 year contract for Comcast Center naming rights but spreading all 20 years of revenue into 5 years or whatever the numbers were)

You also built premium seating options for Football with the expectation that your fans would actually pay for the suites. That has not happened.

I don't love it. They were a charter member. I also live in MD and will no longer be able to see my Deacs very easily.

 

[deacondamo]

Most of the MD fans I have spoke to are not happy about the move. They basically try to convince themselves that it was in the schools best interest. At the beginning, they thought MD would be the first domino to end the ACC. They were convinced UVA and UNC would join. Obviously, they were wrong.
