Pretty sure WVU woulda been the UMD replacement had they waited.


I don't blame the for leaving for the Big12 though. Hardly anyone saw the B1G's power move to take Maryland coming. The writing WAS on the wall though. All you had to do was look at the extra cash the B1G had available and then look at how badly Maryland needed it.

Anyhow, UofL got in once FSU and Clemson started throwing their weight around. I'm glad they did.

And BTW, the best thing for VT might have been to wait it out before changing leagues too. I'm pretty sure we would be in the SEC right now and spending about $25 million more each season on athletics.
