Sorry ACC left-behinds, the Terps took their BigTen money with them. There's none of it to be found in that old ACC turtle suit.

Maryland campus celebrates entry into Big Ten Conference

Excitement and ice cream as move becomes official

Former Maryland women's basketball player Sequoia Austin, who's spent the summer working basketball camps in College Park, joked with one of her co-workers Tuesday morning at a certain sight.

"Somebody I work with had an ACC basketball lanyard and we were like, 'This is retro now,'" the 22-year-old Austin said. "We need to update, get with the times."

On Tuesday, Maryland officially became a member of the Big Ten Conference nearly two years after announcing that the school would leave the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Austin made her way to Mitchell Field on the College Park campus, where she joined students, fans and alumni for festivities to celebrate Maryland's entrance into the Big Ten.

Maryland supporters played games to win Big Ten T-shirts and other prizes, took pictures with a 30-foot inflatable Terrapin, and found refuge from the sun with free ice cream.

"I keep saying everybody is really excited about the Big Ten or they like free ice cream, one or the other," men's basketball coach Mark Turgeon joked.

Maryland already thinking about new trophy games in Big Ten
...

If anything, I would like to formally propose if Maryland beats Ohio State and Illinois in the same season, then the Terps gain control of the Illibuck until either team defeats them.:lol:

The thing that first pops into mind is a Mason-Dixon trophy with PSU.

Maryland is a Big Ten school; who will be its rival?

Months from now, when the Maryland football team begins its inaugural Big Ten season, Ryan Bowles envisions a tipping point for the fan base, when 61 years of tradition get shoved aside in favor of blinding, instant passion.

“All it takes is that first time you go to the Big House and you get a call against you and you start hating Michigan,” said the associate athletics director, who helped manage the athletic department’s transition into the new league.

In the Atlantic Coast Conference, which Maryland officially left Tuesday following six decades as a charter member, Terrapins faithful had no shortage of opponents to loathe. Proximity made Virginia a natural foe. In the early 2000s, fierce men’s basketball games with Duke commanded the nation’s attention. And with league offices located in Greensboro, N.C., and four member schools nearby, some at Maryland always felt excluded, a sentiment famously echoed by legendary basketball coach Gary Williams, who once said, “We might as well be in Siberia.”

1. Ryan, you are not going to be TSUN's rival. Idjit.
2. You're still outcasts.

ACC, Maryland reach mediated agreement

In a press release, the university and the ACC announced that the two sides had “reached a mediated agreement that ends all litigation between both parties.” The school and the conference had entered into the mediation phase of the process back in April.

The release went on to state that “Maryland has agreed that the ACC will keep the sum of $31,361,788 previously withheld in order to resolve the lawsuits, and the ACC has agreed that Maryland will have no obligation to make any other payments to the ACC.” Additionally, the lawsuits filed in the states of North Carolina and Maryland will be dismissed.

There's a part of me that thinks this agreement opens the floodgates to more realignment moves in the very near future ...

Maryland wide receiver Levern Jacobs and free safety A.J. Hendy have been suspended for the season for violating the school's student code of conduct.

Coach Randy Edsall announced the decision on Friday, one day before theTerrapins open the season at home against James Madison.

Jacobs led the team with 47 catches last season and was expected to be a key contributor to the passing game this year.

Hendy, a senior, was the backup to Anthony Nixon at free safety.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...aivon-jacobs-out-for-season-with-knee-injury/

Maryland wide receiver Taivon Jacobs will miss the remainder of the season with a right knee injury, Coach Randy Edsall announced Monday afternoon.

The redshirt freshman had an MRI on Monday on his right meniscus, which he injured during the second drive of Maryland’s win over James Madison on Saturday. Edsall made the announcement on his Twitter account.

...

The loss of Jacobs is a blow to a wide receiver corps that has thinned considerably over the past month. Just two days before camp opened, veteran wide receiver Nigel King was granted his release and transferred to Kansas. Jacobs’s brother, Levern, was expected to be the team’s third wide receiver entering the season but was suspended for the season on Friday after being charged with second degree assault earlier in August.
