Maryland fans and followers found out over the weekend that the Board of Regents was voting today on a major move for all UMD athletics. The University of Maryland is a charter member of the prestigious Atlantic Coast Conference. To leave the ACC for the Big Ten is simply stupid and it will coast the school over $50 million.
Rationale behind this proposal is sketchy at best and fans have had little time to mount an offensive against this move. A group has formed on Facebook to oppose leaving the ACC. Keep UMD in the ACC.
Call 301-445-1911 or 301-445-2701 to voice your opposition. The regents vote today.
- Fear the Turtle!
Sounds like a good idea to me.
At last Purdue would have someone else in the conference
besides IU that they could beat in football on a regular basis.
Go BOILERS!
(Adding Md. and Rutgers turns the Big Ten into the Bigger Fourteen)
I think this is a done deal, announcement at 3:00 pm.
It was announced this morning. Alums had no warning. No chance really to respond.
