Within our footprint and academic standards? Good luck. Raiding the B1G is the only option and they've obviously just made a big move to expand.

conferences laugh at us because it means 1 of our hands is tied behind our back? I mean they want the best sports conferences for their academic institutions and we want the best sports and academic conference? Checkers vs Chess?

And for you clowns who are still claiming we are better off in the ACC - well, even with an 8 team playoff system we would be screwed right now because of this sorry league.

The arguement is stronger if we actually WIN the league ...

As long as we come in second in a sorry league, there is very little logic in complaining about it being sorry.

Well, we've done it 13 or so times if you want to talk past

Right now, we are 2nd place and we have only won it exactly once in the past 20+ years.
If the ACC is weak, and we want to make the point, then we need to win it more than once in 20 years don't you think?

Can anybody tell me what happened with the big controversies
Nov 19, 2012, 10:58 AM
|
|
a few seasons ago ago about conferences raiding other ones? I thought a school had to leave their current conference before they could even talk to another about joining. The words tortious interference came up allot.

Do we get 1/11th ($4.5M ) of the $50M breakup fee?
Nov 19, 2012, 11:55 AM
|
|
Reportedly, UMD voted against the $50M breakup fee (like Clemson should have done) so I doubt that a court would force them to pay a $50M breakup fee that was imposed on them against their will. But if it were enforceable, I wonder if we'd get 1/11th of the $50M breakup fee, or if it all goes to the ACC office or if the ACC office gets 1/12th.
Smart move for UMD to get out of the dumpster fire that is the ACC. Big Ten has comparable academics, better football, good basketball. UMD will make more money and gain recruiting prestige.
