The Under Armour guy must hate his money. The Big-10 is obviously a more desirable conference, but $50 million more desirable? Don't know about that

The question is does this make other ACC teams move.
It has been reported that the Big10 also wants UVa and/or UNC.
MD has stated that they believe the exit fee will only be 20 million and are willing to fight.

I don't know about that either, but I do know that the ACC should be happy.
$50 million >>>> Maryland

Question for you, Hokie....do you want UVa to go Big Ten so that VT can then be able to escape to the SEC?

SEC needs to go get FSU/Clemson.
Although the ACC would probably try to get Louisville/Cincy. At some point half their teams will be former big east ones

i'm sure there is a mechanism, but i don't know what % is needed. delaney typically knows what authority he has, though
maryland, rutgers, UVA, and GT would create a massive cable system imprint on the B10. that's a ton of population and cable subscribers
