Just heard on Brando that FSU and Maryland blocked the proposed 34 mill exit fee. It will remain at 20 mill.

No wonder the ACC commissioner said they are being "proactive" when they took teams from the Big East. Damn right, they know what's coming.

So the gentlemen's agreement to block FSU/Clemson/GT is just a farce? No way UF wants FSU in.

No wonder SEC said no to WVU. They are talking to schools on the low. And Mizzou is dumb enough to want to stay in the Big 12, they're committed to keeping it together Ok Mizzou get left out in the cold see you in the Big East in a year or two.

Would Maryland not make more sense to the B1G than to the SEC? Maybe they had a deal to jump to the Big East? I dunno, just grasping at straws here.

I don't want them.

All the dumb griping about WVU being a "yankee" school - Maryland was no child of the confederacy either. And they are a bit more east than southeast. But me, I'd welcome both into the SEC. Today's a new day!

Maryland would join the Big Ten. That's the theory. It borders PA and would use the academics justification as well. Plus I don't see them as a SEC school. Va Tech and NC State would be better options from the ACC.

Maybe true, but for some reason I thought the discussion was on the merits of Maryland coming in, so I kept my comments limited to that topic.

Just for clarification.

FSU/Maryland did not block a new proposal to raise the exit fee from 20 million to 34.
They were instrumental in the recent raise from 16 to 20 million, keeping it from going to 34.

That may/may not make a difference in your thinking on the matter.

Technically, Maryland is south of the Mason-Dixon line. And a lot of Big Ten people have never liked Penn State in the league because they're too far east, so I'd say Maryland makes more sense in the SEC than Big Ten. Not that Maryland in the SEC makes much sense itself.
