    Maryland, Rutgers to Big Ten?

    The University of Maryland is in serious negotiations to join the Big Ten Conference, sources told ESPN on Saturday.

    If Maryland goes from the ACC to the Big Ten, Rutgers of the Big East is expected to follow suit. The addition of Maryland and Rutgers would give the Big Ten 14 members as the league gears toward negotiations on a new media rights deal when its first-tier rights expire in 2017.

    No date has been set for a potential announcement, though it could come as soon as Monday.

    Maryland president Wallace Loh has been handling the conversation with Big Ten officials, a source said.

    Wow. Didn't see this coming. Why would Maryland leave the ACC and why would the BIG10 want such a sucky football program?

    doesn't make sense geographically or logistically at all. The United Negro College Fund sucks

    Note to Big 10. End the Madness! Change your name to the "Big 14" so all these high falutin' schools of higher education play in a conference that can count past ten.

    Oh, as for geography, adding Maryland and Rutgers means teams in the New York, Philly, Baltimore and DC media markets. That's what is behind this.

    So would the Twerps be considered "Leaders" or "Legends"?
