    If I'm reading that correctly, their move would be held up as long as Maryland's exit fee status remains in limbo.

    I don't think it will sit well with the B1G if they wind up only taking in Rutgers next season.

    If you stayed there you could get an auto bid to the 8 team eventual football playoff.
    ...he went up late, and I was already up there.

    Conference carousel to start spinning again?

    They'll get it done. No doubt about it.

    Maryland suffered a legal setback today. Motion to dismiss denied by the NC Court of Appeals.

    No shock considering this was the ACC's lawsuit against Maryland in a North Carolina court of law.

    Also bear in mind that Maryland is also suing the ACC (currently on hold pending a final outcome in North Carolina) in a Maryland court of law to avoid paying the $50+ million exit fee. I'd have to think that, in the end, you'll have a federal court on some level deciding the final outcome of this case.

    I foresee a negotiation wherein each state wins in an equal amount of $50 million, with each having to wire transfer that amount to the other, all while billing the AAC for a total of about $50 in bank wire transfer charges.

    Maryland will then move to the B1G, UL will move to the ACC, the UC administration will cry, and Father Graham will be blamed for it all.

    UMASS leaving the MAC in football in 2 years but want to remain FBS. Were offered full membership in the MAC but declined.

    This should be interesting. Not sure where they'd go. AAC?

    If UConn ever finds a way to get into the ACC, then UMass is a shoo-in for the American.

    Until then, who knows?

    Can they go to a lower level football league than the MAC and still be FBS? They sure as heck couldn't compete in the MAC.
