Message: [QUOTE="Shenexon, post: 415325, member: 129"] Having trouble envisioning Maryland in anything but the ACC, at least culturally. Their president isn't a traditionalist, but it seems the regents would find the change hard to approve. It's not trending locally as a popular move. Part of the article about Elmore: "Elmore expressed concern that the decision was driven exclusively by Athletic Director Kevin Anderson and university President Wallace Loh, neither of whom have “had any real affinity with Maryland pride.” Anderson became Maryland’s athletic director in 2010 after spending six years at Army, while Loh has Big Ten ties, having earned a doctorate from the University of Michigan. He also was provost at the University of Iowa before he was named Maryland’s president in 2010. “This is not a decision solely to be made by the athletic director or the president,” Elmore said. “This thing is moving so quickly, I can’t see how they consulted members of the constituency.” [/QUOTE]
