MGoPoll: Do YOU want to see Maryland in the B1G?
I apologize if there is a real "poll" feature that I've overlooked. I'll just count the answers instead.
I've been going back and forth so I've been wondering what MGoUsers think.
We don't know about Rutgers or Georgia Tech or Chicago or whoever else is rumored...so I'll leave this to JUST Maryland.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plan and simple. Yes, No, or Don't Care. Do you WANT to see Maryland in the B1G Conference?
---Yes
---No
---Don't Care

Rhis pulls the B1G further away from being a football conference and being just a basketball conference.
November 18th, 2012 at 9:01 PM ^
Yes, if it leads to destablization of the ACC and brings UNC.
November 18th, 2012 at 9:01 PM ^
No thank you
November 18th, 2012 at 9:01 PM ^
Solid in basketball.
Let the ACC CHERRY PICKING BEGIN!
November 18th, 2012 at 9:03 PM ^
No, but...Yes if we must move to 16 and Yes if it somehow screws Notre Dames sacred Indepence.
November 18th, 2012 at 9:04 PM ^
November 18th, 2012 at 9:10 PM ^
November 18th, 2012 at 9:04 PM ^
Absolutely.
November 18th, 2012 at 9:05 PM ^
November 18th, 2012 at 9:06 PM ^
Hell naw.

... if it meant Delaney would jettison the names "Leaders" and "Legends." On a serious note, Maryland is plus in the MBB column. In CFB, Maryland is like adding iceberg lettuce to a sandwich - makes everything else taste a little better, but not by much. I could take it or leave it.
Yes. MOAR $$$!

I want this nonsense to stop. Hell I don't even want PSU and Nebraska.
I would have liked Pitt and Mizzu IF they have to expend but I don't like any of it.
So once again my answer is NO
November 18th, 2012 at 9:11 PM ^
Rutgers would be the better option. Not thinking either is necessary though.
November 18th, 2012 at 9:11 PM ^
This is a pure ratings move to enter the eastern seaboard huge television market.

"move to enter the eastern seaboard huge television market."
If you mean securing the 36 viewers in "Paddy's Crabcakes and Seafood Pub" in Baltimore and the 47 viewers in "DJ's Blue Light Jazz Lounge" in Newark, NJ... you are absolutely correct.
I still remember that one game where Rutgers played on national TV... three years ago... on a Thursday night.
November 18th, 2012 at 9:12 PM ^
No way
November 18th, 2012 at 9:12 PM ^
No on Maryland and Rutgers.
November 18th, 2012 at 9:12 PM ^
November 18th, 2012 at 9:13 PM ^
November 18th, 2012 at 9:17 PM ^
November 18th, 2012 at 9:19 PM ^
No. No? No.
November 18th, 2012 at 9:19 PM ^
The problem is, Md just isn't a B10 school. Neither is Rutgers. The B10 is a fundamentally Midwestern place. MD and Rutgers are clearly Eatern/Mid-Atlantic places. Not worse. Not better. But not B10.
November 18th, 2012 at 9:23 PM ^
November 18th, 2012 at 9:24 PM ^
Double post.
November 18th, 2012 at 9:24 PM ^
Hell no.
November 18th, 2012 at 9:26 PM ^
In isolation, no, but not by a huge amount.
If conference expansion is inevitable, the question becomes at least slightly more interesting.
