Message: [QUOTE="CU44SE, post: 516636, member: 2196"] After Thinking about it, does anyone think that the B1G's first choices were Rutgirls and Maryland? It does not make sense, they are 2 of the most cash strapped athletic departments in the country. Yes they are in densly populated areas, but it doesnt seem like the B1G thing to do after adding Nebraska? Missouri wasn't good enough for them, but Rutgirls and Maryland were? The B1G has always gone for programs, and so it would only make sense if they were turned down by some of the bigger names in the ACC like UNC, GT, FSU, etc. These schools are not only big programs, but also have a good viewing population. These are 2 desperate schools, Rutgirls would have accepted an invitation from any conference and Maryland needs money yesterday. Maryland is not looking towards the future, they are only looking at what will help them right now and that is the B1G money. [/QUOTE]
