I wouldn't have minded Syracuse. I can care less about mizzou. This sucks for traveling though. I'm going to try to get to all the B1G stadiums and now it costs a whole lot more
St Louis and KC for one. They've been much better than MD in football and basketball for the past decade or so. They're actually midwestern...and the list goes on and on.
Basketball doesn't steer the ship, though. If it did, Kansas would have gotten into the B1G before Nebraska. And St Louis and KC pale in comparison to the super-sized urban sprawl that is DC-to-Boston. WAAAAAAY more eyeballs there, even if most of them don't care about college athletics.
Yep like you said. Most don't care about collegiate athletics and if they do, its not the Terps. Same situation with Rutgers. This move, by itself, is awful.
You don't get Oklahoma without Oklahoma State lol, which is fine to me, because they have proved that they aren't a pushover team anymore. Now that we have Maryland, I expect Rutgers to accept, and if they don't, who are we going to get to make it even? I know the B1G isn't going to go into the year without a CCG.
