Duke Coach Mike Krzyzewski is worried about the future of the Atlantic Coast Conference in the wake of Maryland's departure.
"I think the ACC is vulnerable right now, I'm concerned about our conference," Krzyzewski said on Monday afternoon, taping a segment for his Basketball and Beyond show on Sirius XM Radio. The show will air on Wednesday night.
When a guest asked Krzyzewski if he'd prefer Louisville or Connecticut to replace Maryland, which announced its departure for the Big Ten on Monday, Krzyzewski said before he could answer that he'd wanted to get everyone in a room and "close ranks and see who's still here."
Krzyzewski added: "I think there could still be some movement in our conference."

But you're right. Worthless shit programs like Maryland and Rutgers that have never generated money for anyone else and who have AD revenues at the Purdue level will magically transform into financial powerhouses overnight, because areas of the country that don't care about college football will suddenly catch interest because Maryland plays Ohio State instead of Florida State.Last edited by Hannibal; November 19, 2012, 07:58 PM.

Maryland's move was unanimously approved by every B1G10 school. That includes the Presidents, the AD's, the BOT's at Michigan, at Nebraska, at wherever.
Unanimous vote as in Stalinist USSR, Mao's China, and Goofy Guy North Korea? Dozens of opinions and nary a dissent? That doesn't pass the smell test. A sad, sad day for the conference.“Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read.” - Groucho Marx

As usual, Frank The Tank makes some sense out of this mess:
From the moment that the Big Ten announced its intentions to expand three years ago, my attention immediately focused upon “What would be best for the Big Ten Network?” as what would be…
And this article from a few years back predicted this scenario:

Everyone talks about how this is inevitable because college football is a business. Fine. What happens when the big donors start treating college football like a business? Has anyone ever noticed that businesses don't have "donors"? They have "investors". People who expect to get more money back out than they get in. Nobody gives $10 Million to their university because they expect to get $20 Million back out.

Maryland and Rutgers have never had the cash or the conference affiliation to succeed on the level of program like Iowa. There's really no reason they can't be built up to that. I don't expect it to happen overnight but if you had asked if Rutgers could ever have a routine bowl team in the late 90's, you would have said no. If you'd have asked if Boise State could be a national title contender in 2000 you would've been laughed at.
Even if the numbers are only a 1/3 of what they are predicting, every team will still come out ahead.
Since much of this seems to be in collusion with Fox or other networks then yes. I do have faith that they know what the fuck they are talking about. Certainly more faith than I have in nameless internet posters who, if they'd have had their way 20 years ago, would've told Penn State to go to hell
