RE: Hopkins Report on Joining Conference: Green Light (link)

Which is great, because if we want to continue to be an elite team we should go to the best conference instead of hiding where we can get an easier AQ.
What is the Patriot's tv deal like?
Although on second thought the Big Ten may be willing to let us in and keep ESPNU just to give Maryland somewhere to play.
I agree about the ESPNU part being a big deal. The Big Ten wants this in part for the Big Ten Network and beyond that, FOX is probably going to have to agree to let ESPN keep their home games if they join the Big Ten. It's a lot simpler if they join the ACC with ESPN already owning all ACC rights.
At this point, I'd guess ACC.
