[NU Sports] Big Ten Expaonsion

[CHerron604 at aol.com]

This will be attacked as crazy and unrealistic, so here goes
 
If the goal of expansion is to form a 16-team 'superconference' that, in  
our case seeks:
 
- the highest level of academic excellence
 
- the greatest possible monetary gain (Big Ten network)
 
- excellence in all athletics
 
then let's invite the following 6, and take the 5 who accept.
 
Stanford
Cal
Southern Cal
Notre Dame
Duke
Texas
 
May as well set our sights high...

Maryland  has a deep deep attachment to beating Duke, NC and NC State in 
roundball and  they
have world class LaCrosse (men and Women) and Field  Hockey.

They would give us an entre to one of the areas with a lot of  NU Alums, 
Washington DC.

However, I think the roundball attachment to  the ACC would over ride the 
chance to be a
power in the Big  whatever.

Maryland? Really? I do not think they would  leave the ACC. Just don't think
it would happen. They certainly would  compete in basketball and Lacrosse.
But I am not seeing what they would  really bring to the table? And they are
ACC. It is Duke and North  Carolina...I would love to bring them in, because
we could see some real  football around here...but I just don't see it
happening. And I doubt they  bring in 22 million dollars a year to  our
conference?
