Maryland move probably not a surprise...

See a lot of talk about Swofford and ACC being caught off guard. I gotta believe they knew something was up when Maryland voted against the large exit fee. Wouldn't be surprised they knew something was up back then...

I'm sure there will be a quick play by the ACC in response.

I tend to think now there was/is more to the Penn St. article than just some guess work...

My money is on Swofford. The dude does not let any moss grow under his arse. If true he has a countermove.

Exactly, it's almost like the BIG is being reactive. I have a feeling the ACC has the upper hand in this particular situation.

Who would have thought Maryland would be a major cog in this? Get rid of 7 sports and then get invited to that facade of a conference.

Would UMD and/or the Girls be your first choice in any thing. What does the fact that is who the BiG is left to "add" tell you ?

They are scared shitless of PSU coming and ND being an eventual full member.
