Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 864924, member: 652"] Yeah, this is realistic. Penn State's chances to leave the B1G are only when their TV contracts expire and they did in 2008 and they are again in 2016. Every TV contract the B1G signs all the teams sign a GOR when they are negotiated. Penn State could have left the B1G in the last couple rounds of expansion and that is why the B1G threw them a bone and added Maryland and Rutgers along with their TV markets. If the B1G didn't add RU/UMD now then the ACC could have made a run at Penn State along with Notre Dame and blown the B1G out. However, Delaney wasn't an idiot like the Big East commissioners and made a per-emptive strike at the ACC taking the ONLY weak link Maryland because Debbie Yow left that AD in so bad of shape they had to cut all those sports programs. If Debbie Yow wasn't a bad AD for UMD I don't think they would have left even though their President had B1G ties. [/QUOTE]
