If Maryland loses their lawsuit then I'll agree... if Maryland wins, I think the Big 10 may find another couple schools in that area of the country.

What does the Maryland lawsuit have to do with future B1G expansion? Realistically you're looking at a difference of $25 million vs $52 million for an exit fee. But the real issue is the ACC GOR. Are you telling me that the ACC GOR will become null and void if UMD somehow (highly, highly doubtful) wins against the ACC? If they do win, surely you don't think UMD leaves for zero dollars, do you? I'm not even bothering to discuss UMD's countersuit because it's all garbage anyways.

The only thing I do see here are a few G5 schools hoping against hope that a P5 conference gets raided so that their schools are invited to a different conference.
