Maryland Officially Joins the Big Ten

The Big Ten Network made the announcement on Twitter shortly before noon today that Maryland will be a part of the Big Ten conference when play begins for the 2014-2015 season. Previously a member of the ACC, Maryland will be featured in a special conference expansion show slated for this afternoon at 2:30 on the network.

Hopefully several questions will be answered during the show that will feature a press conference announcing the new school. One of the major questions is the alignment of teams within the two divisions. Will a total shift of teams occur or just the movement of one or two programs to better align programs geographically. Stay tuned.
