SVP just drank the B1G kool-aid

Listening to him wax poetically about the old ACC rivalries it seems pretty obvious what pissed Maryland off was getting permanent home/homes with Pittsburgh and Virginia instead of Duke. Great job Swofford!!!

I hope they enjoy that Iowa rivalry.

That cannot be a huge part of why they are leaving. Petty. Plus this stuff changes all if the time...

So they left because they wanted to play Duke? Seems logical

 

[jekelish]

So they left because they wanted to play Duke twice, and leaving allows them to play Duke...never, potentially?

Yeah, not buying that. It's an absurd premise.

That's some serious little brother s#it.

Its taking your ball and going home like A&M pulled on UT. Maryland felt the ACC did whatever Duke and N. Carolina wanted and didn't take care about them even though they are a founding member. The ACC gave Wake freaking Forest a permanent home/home with Duke rather than Maryland. The ACC should have said Wake you play UVA home/home every and protected one of their elite basketball programs in Maryland.

sounds like a heartbroken teenage girl moving across town because the popular boy in school wont take her to the home coming dance

Absurd post-game rationalizing is what fans do best.

It's a cash grab. Anyone at MD who voted yes stands to personally profit at the end of the day.
