The Maryland debacle proved full membership does not = commitment


Maryland left straight up for the money and the B1G's academic consortium. If bringing in UT makes everybody richer, and increases the academic and general national profile of the conference, do you think that is when more schools decide to leave the ACC? It just seems unlikely.

In any case, I doubt that UT wants partial membership because I think (pure guess) that they'd like to play in a conference championship game.
