Well to that end Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Illinois(all B1G footprint) lost EVs and population from the last census while Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida(SEC/ACC footprint) gained EVs and population from the last census.
 
Also, on the Maryland unlike Rutgers which subsidize its AD by taking millions of dollars from the RU General fund and making all the student essentially subsidize RU football and the AD's deficits Maryland was forbidden to do this under Maryland law. Maryland will be a mess in the B1G, but with the fact the B1G is guaranteeing them 35-40 million a year in TV revenue they will be able to balance their sheets with that money. The ACC could have loaned them the money to balance their sheets and made them pay it back in small amounts, but Maryland wasn't the most important university in the conference. Maryland, Wake Forest, and Duke all sold games to Jacksonville from what I remember. I remember visiting a family member when I was younger in Duval County, Florida and Duke-Florida State were playing a football game at then Alltel Stadium.
 
Penn State is going to leave the B1G now that they have tomato cans in RU/Maryland to beat up on and give their alums easy road games to attend to now. The B1G will always be able to pay more than the ACC because of BTN and Penn State won't take less money to move. If the B1G didn't placate PSU with RU/Maryland and Notre Dame joined then maybe, but now I am pretty confident they won't move.
