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

Oh my, no.
November 18th, 2012 at 8:58 PM ^
Hell no
November 18th, 2012 at 9:00 PM ^
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 ^
DC is a great road trip.
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 ^
We will get division realignment and gain a big tv market. Also I feel a 4 16 team conference D1 is inevitable at this point.
November 18th, 2012 at 9:10 PM ^
+ Its inevitable. Id rather play Maryland and Rutgers occasionally than club baby seals. Also, they are both better schools than MSU and Nebraska.
November 18th, 2012 at 9:04 PM ^
Absolutely.
November 18th, 2012 at 9:05 PM ^
Only if it sticks it to ND
November 18th, 2012 at 9:06 PM ^
Hell naw.
November 18th, 2012 at 9:09 PM ^
I'm from Maryland - NO.
The B1G is officially dead if this goes through.
So disappointing.

... 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 $$$!
November 18th, 2012 at 9:11 PM ^
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.
November 18th, 2012 at 9:33 PM ^
"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 ^
only because I live in DC and would be able to attend a Michigan game here.
November 18th, 2012 at 9:13 PM ^
Non incipete nihil suis!
November 18th, 2012 at 9:17 PM ^
A thousand times no
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 ^
Seriously....expansion is inevitable. We have mad alums in both D.C. And NY who will sell those crapholes out and both will make good road trips in contrast to threshing through miles of corn to get to Lincoln fucking Nebraska.
Truth is we're not pulling any cornerstone programs of the significant leagues in because the loose teeth have already pretty much been pulled and at least the two programs stay north and east and allow the Big Ten footprint to stay in one block from Minnesota/Nebraska clear through to the Atlantic.
Again, What the Fuck.
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.
