Cleveland.com: Maryland hoops best power program added to the B1G.
http://www.cleveland.com/osu/index.ssf/2...en_ex.html

No argument here. Even Nebraska fans would tell you that the football program has been a disappointment. Maryland is a basketball school and they have by far been the best competitive addition of the revenue sports since 2011.

On another not completely irrelevant train of thought... a lot of ink was spilled when the ACC replaced the Terps with Louisville about how much more superior Louisville was than Maryland. The only person that was vocally pissed not related to Maryland I can remember off the top of my head was Coach K. Apparently Coach K knew that Maryland was a more significant loss than was portrayed elsewhere. I'm not saying Louisville is garbage, quite the opposite but I think Maryland should receive their due.

Its good to see Maryland flourishing in bb in the BIG. But really, Louisville is a much bigger and better basketball brand and program, and a slightly better fb program. Louisville, imo, was the better addition. The only thing that Maryland has over Louisville is its market.

Not saying it will happen or if it's even possible, but imagine if the B1G brought in a combo of UConn/Kansas. Basketball would be the absolute king in all of the conferences.

It's a pity football is in the way.

Basketball aside (I do not think they are as far apart as you suggested), Maryland also has the academics and is a land grant state flagship. Not knocking Louisville in the slightest; I am sure they are a fine school. But we know the Big Ten presidents care about the AAU and almost all of their members are of the land grant state flagship variety.

Adding both UConn and Kansas to the Big 10 would make the conference superb in basketball. Football will improve quickly for both schools, especially if they join the Big.

The B1G has always been a step behind in expansion

The article states Maryland is the best Power Program added to the B1G.

Not sure why there is Louisville bashing going on...Louisville's Hoops pedigree is superior to UMD.

Maryland is having a good season...but let it play out before puffing on the B1G weed.

I really agree with this. If we consider the blue bloods of basketball- Kansas is a King. Connecticut is a shining knight. If you are running a sports network, football, while dominant, is only part of the year. College basketball, on the highest level,
is the other part.

Having Michigan State, Maryland, Connecticut, Indiana, and Kansas to showcase is a great lineup. Having schools like Illinois, Purdue, Ohio State, Michigan, and Michigan just makes the programing better.

As for you statement about football improving- It doesn't seem to help Rutgers. Illinois and Purdue seem to be getting worse.

RE: Cleveland.com: Maryland hoops best power program added to the B1G.
Given we actually have to play and try to win these conferences and are not just collecting pieces, I hope against any kind of expansion like that. It's hard enough winning a conference title without adding more strength. It might be better for the Big Ten conference to add schools like UConn and Kansas, but it probably is not in the best interest of the members of the Big Ten as a whole.

The ACC needs to pay particular attention to the Big's NE delusions of dominance. As such, the ACC needs to look to add UConn & West Virginia. That should tie things up nicely...

A. Louisville is a fantastic program, has a very good football brand and a fantastic basketball brand, we mean no insult whatsoever, , Big Ron simply stated that Maryland should receive their due as a program and a brand (which they should, but God forbid someone from the ACC give an attaboy to Maryland or anything Big Ten related, also reassuring my thoughts in that Syracuse fans are just as bad as mICHIGAN fans).

B. In Bold; Sure, better addition for the ACC, wouldn't have been for the Big Ten.

This is where us Big Ten Posters have an issue, what Louisville bashing? We have been nothing but respectful to Louisville in this specific thread, giving praises to the program and its brand, which is rightfully deserves. This "B1G Bashing" needs to stop, we have maybe one or two posters (who I will mention do not post on our main board except for seldom exceptions) that actually deserve the **** to be thrown back, stop looping the rest of us who are respectful and actually want ONE *** **** GOOD ******* THREAD without this bashing and nonsense. It is tiring, it really is. But please, continue your constant bashing of the Big Ten and anything relating to it TexanMark, not like anything is ever done about it. 03-banghead

If you cared to read the posters comment, "No argument here. Even Nebraska fans would tell you that the football program has been a disappointment. Maryland is a basketball school and they have by far been the best competitive addition of the revenue sports since 2011.", you'd realize he was talking about more than just basketball in his post.

Just curious, how is TexanMark any different than the guy who wrote the linked article? The article compared men's basketball and football additions in the B1G. It mentions Nebraska, Rutgers and Maryland.

BTW, I don't care what one insignificant poster like yourself think of SU fans. And you are telling others to stop attacking in this thread but you are doing more attacking than anyone else and getting personal to boot.

That the article mentioned absolutely nothing about Louisville or the ACC, he's substituting in that there is Louisville bashing going on in this thread, not once did I see any of that going on, just an original post stating that he's happy with the Maryland add and that he thinks they deserve their due in the outcome of the whole situation. He then continues to tell us to continue to keep smoking the "B1G Weed", which is bashing either us as posters or the Big Ten as a whole. Any Big Ten fan comment on Louisville was nothing but POSITIVE.

The comment in bold of mine wasn't accurately directed at your comment (I skip back and forth in my comments and had misplaced that one), more of my lament that certain Syracuse posters, not so much you but most of the ones I've dealt with since joining this board, do nothing but trash talk. I'm often silent on my opinion because I prefer reading but threads like these where the bashing is completely and 100% unwarranted and inexcusable. I do not rush to defend fellow Big Ten posters when they are including themselves in the nonsense. Alas, your response didn't ruffle my feathers, and I apologize for accidentally directing that statement towards yourself.

Its good to see Maryland flourishing in bb in the BIG. But really, Louisville is a much bigger and better basketball brand and program, and a slightly better fb program. Louisville, imo, was the better addition. The only thing that Maryland has over Louisville is its market.

Quote:A. Louisville is a fantastic program, has a very good football brand and a fantastic basketball brand, we mean no insult whatsoever, , Big Ron simply stated that Maryland should receive their due as a program and a brand (which they should, but God forbid someone from the ACC give an attaboy to Maryland or anything Big Ten related, also reassuring my thoughts in that Syracuse fans are just as bad as mICHIGAN fans).

a lot of ink was spilled when the ACC replaced the Terps with Louisville about how much more superior Louisville was than Maryland.




The underlined is what the OP wrote. Sorry if my response ruffled your feathers.

BTW, I don't care what one insignificant poster like yourself think of SU fans. Have a great day!

The comment in bold of mine wasn't accurately directed at your comment (I skip back and forth in my comments and had misplaced that one), more of my lament that certain Syracuse posters, not so much you but most of the ones I've dealt with since joining this board, do nothing but trash talk. I'm often silent on my opinion because I prefer reading but threads like these where the bashing is completely and 100% unwarranted and inexcusable. I do not rush to defend fellow Big Ten posters when they are including themselves in the nonsense. Alas, your response didn't ruffle my feathers, and I apologize for accidentally directing that statement towards yourself.

Fair enough!. That was a very mature response. I take back what I posted since your response was not directed towards me.
