Also, I think Maryland provides the second best academic profile of the expansion candidates next to Notre Dame and has national titles in the revenue sports (bball and fball), and alot in the non revenue sports soccer, lacrosse, field hockey etc…

As a Terp fan, this intrigues me because of the additional revenue it would provide the university. However, being a founding member of the ACC, I just don't see how they would leave. Also, the travel between schools would be difficult, PSU to UMD is one thing…but Minnesota to UMD is another…

I do have to believe there is some substantial proof that the Big 10 may target Maryland with all the news stories out these days. It should be interesting to see how this all turns out….

I love the idea of Maryland joining in. They have access to the third largest market in the country. In fact, I'm pretty sure if you add St. Louis and KC together they do not equal DC. And throw in Baltimore and the population base is huge. Even if it's a one-team addition, I'd take Maryland over all other candidates. Solid tradition in basketball, down-and-up in football, wrestling that has been steadily improving, other very successful non-revenues. If they're willing, I say bring on the Terps!

They were thinking about letting Kirkwood in last year but they didnt want the embarassment of them beating the Hawks in Basketball!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm a College Park alumnus who would love the move. Academically, it would link Maryland to its desired peer institutions, large land-grant universities, and the money from research as part of the CIC would be a boon. Athletically, Maryland's program would be a good fit for the Big Ten — usually decent football (2009's season was an aberration), national power programs in men's and women's basketball (thank you, Iowa, for Brenda Frese!) as well as in men's soccer, women's lacrosse, field hockey and improvement in wrestling.

Initially, I believed much of the Maryland fan base would be staunchly opposed to such a move, but reaction has actually been close to 50-50. While I certainly understand the emotional ties to the basketball games with Duke, that won't last forever. (When I went to Maryland in the mid-1970s, the big rival was N.C. State.) A move to the Big Ten would benefit the university for decades. Look at the big picture, the long term.

Finally, could it happen? I sense that after Texas, Notre Dame and possibly Nebraska, Maryland would be highly desired by the Big Ten. It can provide a strong population base, just like Rutgers, but with an area more traditionally attuned to college sports and a program with a stronger tradition. I think if the Big Ten had its way, its "dream" 16-team expansion would include Texas A&M, Texas, Nebraska, Maryland and Rutgers. Solid academics, strong athletics and plenty of eyeballs for the Big Ten Network.

Ain't gonna happen, end of story. NEXT!

Forget the Texas schools. That isn't going to happen, especially if Maryland would join. The geography would not make sense in regards to travel cost between Texas and Maryland. I would, however, take Maryland over Rutgers.

Maryland? Don't you think we can find quality schools a bit closer? Maryland is too far to travel. The Maryland/Minnesota game is gonna be a huge rivalry.?Maryland is not a good choice. Is the next school for consideration going to be Oregon? Big 10 expansion should be focused on the midwest, if no schools fit the bill then don't expand. It is not like the Big 10 is going broke and needs to expand for survival, it is a money thing, and trying to keep up with the SEC.

Writer should look into MD's current situation. They have huge financial problems and a declining fan base. Ralph Fridgen should be fired but MD doesn't have the financial resources to buy out his contract. Big city schools MD don't bring a TV market because they are in the shadow of the professional teams, in this case, the Redskins. This was confirmed when Boston College joined the ACC.

I love waking up in the morning and not knowing what’s going to happen, or who I’m going to meet, where I’m going to wind up.　

Keep working ,great job!

This just doesn't make any sense at all. Why not suggest Alaska? It would be just about the same amount of travel time for Minnesota.

Has anyone else noticed the trend of more Caucasian guys and Asian women going out with each other? It seems like the cool thing to do right now. I have several friends who mainly go out with Asian women but fascination is all about. Is there something about Asian women that Western guys find highly attractive? And are there certain types of Asian women that are especially compatible with American men? I find Thai women and Chinese women to be particularly alluring. My pals say Filipina women make the best companions. I’d like to know what other people think.
