The thing that no-one has explained away is if Maryland, and Rutgers move the TV needle so well why are both schools bankrupt? If they really are that sought after, they should have been able to sell something to the networks on their own. Just my opinion, but I believe after poaching Nebraska from the Big 12, they figured ok we have plenty of time to integrate them into the Big 10, before our next move. After all you had to go back to 2003 when the ACC first struck for previous conference movement. What happened next to the Big 10 caught them by surprise, Texas [EMAIL]A@M[/EMAIL], Missouri to the SEC, West Virginia, TCU to the Big 12, Syracuse, Pittsburgh, and Notre Dame to the ACC. They found themselves in a position where if they didn't do something, it would appear they were totally taken by surprise. That would explain why they would take 2 schools which are in large areas, where pro teams are the main sports entertainment, and college an afterthought.
