Message: [QUOTE="Hoo's That, post: 2961942, member: 3609"] They joined the B1G because UMd asked them to. JHU would do whatever it had to do to keep playing UMd. That is their rivalry. [U]Every[/U] other team on their schedule is just a team that they play and can be dropped (like UVa is in 2020 after >70 years). They wouldn't have joined the ACC even if we had asked them. The ACC needs Ga Tech and/or NCSU to start teams (they have the most favorable Title IX situations) to get the AQ back because no one outside the ACC is willing to step into the meat grinder. We could have asked Utah, but even if we did they'd have said no. (in Utah's case travel was immaterial to their decision because they would have to go to the East Coast and East Coast teams would have to go to SLC regardless of which conference they joined).
