If true... it fits with the grand B1G scheme Maryland was sold...


When MD jumped, it was reported the B1G showed them plans to grab other ACC schools (uva, unc at a minimum). This helped MD make the jump since they would not feel alone and essentially they would land in an "improved ACC" division of the B1G. You know... without the Wakes and BCs of the world.

B1G's ACC Plus Division
Duke
Florida State
Georgia Tech
Indiana
Maryland
North Carolina
Penn State
Purdue
Rutgers
Virginia


B1G's "Originals" Plus Division
Illinois
Iowa
Michigan
Michigan State
Minnesota
Nebraska
Northwestern
Notre Dame
Ohio State
Wisconsin

And there is the genius of the plan. The original Big Ten is mainly intact... trading out bottom feeders Indiana & Purdue for powerhouses Notre Dame and Nebraska.

The ACC Core of UNC, Duke, MD, VA, GT and FSU loses all the Big East additions (VT, Miami, BC, Cuse, Pitt, Ville) plus a few originals sacrificed (NCSU, Wake, Clemson)... but pick up Penn State with Indiana, Rutgers and Purdue.

Would be a pretty sweet coup for the original Big Tens - keeping their rivalries plus adding two great ones AND having the other division drive ratings and money where all the people live now.
