The sad thing is maryland didnt have 2 jump

If fhe new president had a meeting first with acc leadership - acc would have assisted md get right as a founding member. However cleaned house and rhe new team knew nothimg about the acc and also swofford was stuck in greensboro and didnt outreach rhe new guy until too late and after the new guy called his big Ten friends. Acc would have could have helped maryland and all confidential. In terms of being in hock- no matter what fans think- the president was able to write off md debt and mo problem; big Ten will take care with them and so what if reduced outlays - the ledger book is clear. And to a new oresident that is great. I hate losing maryland but they did what they needed to do. To the acc leadership poor case of nurturing the entire membership not just the 4 and tame fsu.

Yes told the fan base to shove it, but 🏈 attendance is the fans response.

Mo money for the few. Less money for the majority

All could make more money, but only two will likely make the top end money.**
