Maryland and Rutgers join the B1G
Maryland Terrapins, Rutgers Scarlet Knights in talks to join Big Ten Conference, sources say - ESPN
Maryland looks like a good choice but I don't know about Rutgers? |

What do we gain from these? Neither of these teams is competitive in football.....

I like them okay. Neither will be in the B1G Championship game any time soon if this deal were to go through...
Some positives to these two: Maryland (and Under Armor) have invested in building a strong football program over the last few years Rutgers brings the potential of the NY television market Maryland brings in the DC market Both schools are in decent recruiting areas The Nebraska move was clearly about football. I think that recruiting these schools is more in-line with the B1G's supposed original goals in expansion. |

Another upshot is both of these schools are solid academically, they'll fill in sort of like Northwestern... not really standout schools athletically but they'll have four to 6 average and one or two good to great seasons each decade, but excellent educational additions to the conference and a broader geographical base for research studies, recruiting, etc... it benefits the conference on and off field/court.

If both of these schools join what divisions do you see them going to? I would take Rutgers to the leaders and Maryland to the legends.
