Big East Looking to get Maryland

So it appears that the Big East is after Maryland (and Boston College). Thoughts?

Bye. Your basketball team would proably suffer. Your football team would probably become average.

i don't have a problem with bostob college leaving the acc,but maryland needs to stay.whenever maryland plays unc,duke,uva, and all the other acc teams it has played for years,it is always a game people want to watch even when the teams are crappy in football and basketball especially.

Yeah, it would be a huge challenge for the basketball team. Outside of UNC, Duke, Wake and the Terps, the ACC is not a challenging conference like the Big East, who top-to-bottom is the strongest conference in the nation with 8-10 Tourney-caliber teams annually.

The football team would get a boost in success though.

At this rate, the Big East Tourney is going to be more fun to watch than the NCAA Tourney.
