I felt this was an appropriate first post to the thread.
I think this is pretty pertinent:
@alex_prewitt: A majority is needed among the 16 Board of Regents during tomorrow morning's vote to accept Maryland's move to the Big 10.
(prewitt is Wash Post Md writer)
Andy Katz tweets that he spoke with a prominent MD alumnus and he thinks MD will choose the Big Ten
Brett McMurphy @McMurphyESPN
Maryland's board of regents unanimously approves move to Big Ten, source tells @ESPN
(not new, but I hadn't seen the word 'unanimous' anywhere else yet.)
@McMurphyESPN: Likely but not official - yet RT @Peder_Rice: On SportsCenter right now, they're saying Rutgers announcement tomorrow. Can you confirm?
Just heard the Rutgers announcement tomorrow on ESPN Radio as well....

Apparently that has changed...
Pete Thamel @SIPeteThamel
Ah ha. Someone tells truth. RT @alex_prewitt: Florestano confirmed that the Regents has approved the proposal. Denies it was unanimous.
@BigTenNetwork: Maryland will join the Big Ten, effective 2014-15 season.
@wilnerhotline: Realignment source: UConn to ACC could happen as soon as Tuesday.
Jeremy Fowler @JFowlerCBS
ACC in talks with UConn, Louisville, South Florida and Cincinnati about 14th team to replace Maryland, source told @CBSSports.
interesting:
@darrenrovell: Sources: Under Armour founder & CEO Kevin Plank WILL NOT be contributing to Maryland's ACC buyout fund.
@DanWetzel: Have been told ACC will not be hurried into replacing Maryland. Will let dust settle.
Brett McMurphy @McMurphyESPN

JFowlerCBS Re: nine-game conf schedule, Delany said, "I think more games is on the table."

One top-level Big 12 school official tells me: "We need 2 more teams to have 4 nonconf games. It would help everybody’s records."
