So Maryland's trying to join the Big 10 in 2014...

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

Apparently, it's a done deal and an announcement is expected Monday at 4 p.m. MD has been working on this deal for the last three weeks and got exactly what they wanted.

From a football standpoint, they'll have to invest heavily in the program to keep it anywhere near competitive.

It's bad enough we have Purdue, Indiana, Minnesota, etc but now we have to add Rutgers and Maryland? GTFOH.

OK...you like that narrative...have fun with that...but the landscape now is DRAMATICALLY different than when the Big 10 formed

in fact the landscape in terms of dollars and cents now is dramatically different than it was just 5 years ago

so to use history as a way to defend moves now...doesn't do anything for me...the circumstances have changed...the almighty dollar is far more important to these conferences than their alums happiness...because at the end of the day no matter what the fans will still come back and watch the games...no matte what team they don't like added to the conference they will still watch...they will still flock to the schools and support the teams...so there's no reason for them to hold up this standard

it's simply something they say to the media...and then when they do something different they can just go. "we looked at our options and thought that even though it doesn't align with our previous standards this was still a move that we had to pursue."

No one said money wasn't a motivation. Heck, it's the primary motivation for letting Nebraska in. We're in agreement. I was the first person in here to say we sold out. But, no one else makes the academic argument but the Big 10, and I was there first hand for the push back against bringing in Nebraska by regents, faculty, alumni and of course the students. Unlike these other conferences, they've added two teams in their entire history, it's too early to make this proclamation that it'll be all about money henceforth.

@mastermind, you're using the AAU as an argument but Notre Dame is still an elite university so that doesn't hold much weight. No one would question Notre Dame's academic prowess and as a member of the Big 10 it would join the CIC. Membership has to be approved by the provosts of the member schools by the way.

Rutgers should never be a member of the Big 10, what the fukk is this shyt? :thiswork:

 

[mastermind]

@mastermind, you're using the AAU...

I didnt use the argument, @Ed MOTHERfukkING G did

The big ten regents have forevet said thst if youre not a research school in the AAU youre not joining. Academics do matter to that confrence.

The school is already tweeting it out...

Nebraska was an AAU member at the time it was approved and the contract was signed. You co-signed the argument that dude was making regarding that.

his point was that Big 10 cares about dollars as much as every other conference that they would drop the AAU criterion in the bushes as well.


Shoot, the Big 10 school academics arent even better than the ACC's right now.

 

[tremonthustler1]

Baseball, yeah. Football top to bottom goes to the Big 10 this year, even though both conferences are down this year and . Basketball varies year to year, and the Big 10 is always strong in that, but when Pitt and Syracuse come over you gotta give the edge to the ACC in basketball

Pitt will absolutely suck in the ACC. Hell, they've fallen off already.

Syracuse will be mediocre as fukk in the ACC with Boeheim's wack ass recruiting.

Syracuse is a mainstay in the tournament, and were a 1 seed 2 of the last 3 years while playing in hands down the best conference in college basketball. Pitt had a down year last year, before that they made the tourney 9 straight years, and were never lower than a 5 seed for the last 5 of those years, they'll bounce back

They didn't drop the criterion. Nebraska lost AAU member status after already being accepted into the Big 10. You guys are fighting really hard to prove your point.

"Big 10 academics aren't even better than the ACC right now." Debatable, very debatable.
