Television revenues of cable subscribers in NJ and DC/VA/MD that will start to receive the B1G network as a part of their cable package.
It doesn't matter if anyone watches it or not, the B1G gets money just for having it in their channel line-up.
In other words, its a cash grab for sub-par products that the consumer doesn't really get a say in. We need more unions!!!!
People in those states dont already get the big10 network?
I get it out here in vegas.
Some places get it. But the BTN is going to try and go from (these numbers are not accurate), $0.25 a month per subscriber to $1.00 a month.

hinghameagle {l Wrote}:Swoffy messed this up with his inept negotiation with ESPN. What I fail to see, and I have seen it mentioned here numerous times, is why ESPN should feel obligated to fix this and pay more money to the ACC.
theoretically, I understand it may keep the ACC teams happier but there is no guarantee that if each ACC teams receives an extra 2-3 million that they still won't try to bolt for greener pastures.
ESPN kicked the crap out of Swoffy at the negotiating table, now they shouls go back, feel guilty and give the ACC more money. give me one instance in the history of the world, whether it is buying a car, or buying conference tv rights, where the party that got the better end of the deal, said, " Wow, I did a great job for my company, but you know what, who cares about my company, I am going to throw some of their money back at the other(losing party) because... well for no reason at all"

I talked to Delany today. He said Big Ten will open up East Coast offices. More on @sinow in a bit.

They're not opening offices on the East Coast just because of UMD and RU. This is not over.

In all honesty... I have no idea what that means? Do they have offices anywhere but Chicago? Other than UVA and UNC who the eff else would they care about? And, if it is UVA and UNC, why would they open East Coast offices? Its not like there is any convient point between NJ and North Carolina.

WHAT'S SCHIANO-GIVING? IT'S THANKSGIVING RENAMED IN HONOR OF EMPEROR SCHIANO. WE DID THIS BY RENAMING IT BEFORE HE HAD A CHANCE TO TURN DOWN THE RENAMING BEFORE IT WAS EVEN OFFERED! ON SCHIANO-GIVING WE SACRIFICE 1,000 HUMAN VIRGINS TO THE INSATIABLE EMPEROR SCHIANO, EXCEPT, INSTEAD OF SCREAMING IN TERROR LIKE THE VIRGINS THROWN TO VOLCANOES AND THE LIKE, THE VIRGINS SACRIFICED TO SCHIANO ARE THRILLED TO GET A CHANCE TO MEET THE COACH OF THE 400-0 RUTGERS SCARLET KNIGHTS, WHO HAVE BEEN ON A 30-YEAR RUN OF INTERSTELLAR DOMINATION! EVEN THOUGH THEIR BODIES WILL BE RAVAGED BY HIS GIANT SCHIANO-PENIS, AND THE STREETS WILL RUN PINK WITH A MIXTURE OF THEIR BLOOD AND HIS INCREDIBLY FERTILE SEMEN, THE VIRGINS ARE HAPPY TO GIVE UP THEIR LIVES SO THAT THE NEXT GENERATION OF DOMINANT RUTGERS SCHIANOBALL PLAYERS SPONTANEOUSLY SPAWN FROM SAID MIXTURE!
THE BIG TEN MOVE IS JUST THE FIRST OF MANY UNTIL ALL MAJOR UNIVERSITIES ARE SWALLOWED UP BY THE PISCATAWAY CAMPUS AND THEIR STUDENTS FORCED TO WORK IN THE UNDERGROUND SUGAR MINES OF NEW JERSEY, WHICH FEED THE SCARLET KNIGHTS AND THEIR GENETICALLY-PERFECT GROUPIES.

FINALLY, NO DOUBT ONE OF YOU PATHETIC EARTHLINGS WILL POINT OUT THAT IN 2012, EMPEROR SCHIANO IS NO LONGER WORKING FOR RUTGERS AND HAS MOVED ON TO THE NFL. YOU FOOLS FAIL TO SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE. WHEN THE EMPEROR BRINGS THE BUCCANEER WAY BACK TO RUTGERS, AND FORCES AN INFINITE NUMBER OF FUMBLES ON KNEELDOWNS, YOU WILL HAVE LAUGHED YOUR LAST LAUGH.

Dear University of Maryland community:
Today is a watershed moment for the University of Maryland.
I am pleased to announce that the Board of Regents of the University System of Maryland has endorsed our application to join the Big Ten conference, starting in academic year 2014-15. The Council of Presidents of the Big Ten has approved our admission.
Membership in the Big Ten is in the strategic interest of the University of Maryland. It will ensure the financial vitality of Maryland Athletics for decades to come. It will enable us to reinstate some teams that were recently terminated due to budget deficits. We will have the capability to support better our student-athletes—in the classroom and on the field—and compete successfully at the highest levels.
Intercollegiate athletics is an integral part of our University. It must be aligned with our academic values and priorities. We will earmark some of the new resources to support our University-wide educational missions and help make college more affordable for our students. This represents nothing less than a new financial paradigm for intercollegiate athletics at the University of Maryland.
The Big Ten institutions comprise the Committee on Institutional Cooperation. The extensive opportunities in the CIC for collaborations with our peer AAU and flagship universities in education, research, and innovation will boost the University of Maryland’s ascendancy in academic excellence.
Since leaving the Southern Conference in 1953, we have been a proud founding member of the ACC. Our long history has led to spirited sports rivalries and left indelible memories. More recently, the ACC has expanded into the Midwest. But our early ACC traditions will remain forever a treasured part of the Terrapin story.
I understand that many devoted Terp fans may be stunned and disappointed at this news. I recognize and regret the sadness they may feel at our leaving the ACC. It is the passing of an era. To them, I ask only this: please understand that I am doing what I believe is best for the University of Maryland. I made this decision after due diligence and confidential consultation with some of our key stakeholders.
As president, my responsibility is to advance the good of the entire University—our academic excellence and financial well-being as well as the future of Maryland Athletics. We are a premier land-grant and research university, situated in a vibrant metropolitan region next to our nation’s capital. Our reach and impact today is national and international. Membership in the Big Ten and the CIC offers opportunities that match our strategic purposes. We cannot let pass these opportunities.
The 21st century landscape of intercollegiate athletics is being transformed by demographics, technology, and the economic realities of big-time sports. These forces are upending traditional boundaries. Change is difficult, but we are in front of these changes. As we begin a new chapter in our history, let us go forward together and create our future. We are all Terps. We are, proudly, the University of Maryland.
Thank you for your continuing support of the University of Maryland.

FSU added women’s sand volleyball last year to help get in line with Tixtle IX requirements, while Maryland recently eliminated seven sports programs entirely.

The University of Maryland stands to make nearly $100 million more in conference revenue by 2020 with its switch from the ACC to the Big Ten, according to projected revenue information presented to the school by Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany, SI.com has learned.
The projected information shows how Maryland could afford its $50 million buyout from the ACC, a fee the school is expected to attempt to reduce through legal action.

No one in ACC is 'wringing their hands' over Maryland departure

If UConn replaces Maryland, the Carolina schools will bail and all hell will break lose.
"I think the ACC is vulnerable right now, I'm concerned about our conference," Krzyzewski said on Monday afternoon, taping a segment for his Basketball and Beyond show on Sirius XM Radio.
When a guest asked Krzyzewski if he'd prefer Louisville or Connecticut to replace Maryland, which announced its departure for the Big Ten on Monday, Krzyzewski said before he could answer that he'd wanted to get everyone in a room and "close ranks and see who's still here."
Krzyzewski added: "I think there could still be some movement in our conference."
"I do think more people are going to go after people in our conference now," he said. "Especially if Maryland shows that in some way they can reduce or get out of that $50 million commitment."
Krzyzewski noted that "maybe we should have done something else" when the ACC added Notre Dame as a partial member with a scheduling agreement for football in September. He mentioned perhaps the ACC should have considered adding UConn, Louisville or Rutgers.
"For my own conference," he said, "its time to circle wagons and take attendance and make sure we have who we have."
