Lets hope people actually stick to this rule(I know I was guilty in the last one too). I promise not to entertain their babble.

I've done nothing wrong. I've contributed to the thread. It's Ralph who has been egging people on

Does anyone know when the Maryland case will be resolved? I read (on a message board) yesterday that it will be 2/21, and that seems too soon.

It does not matter when Maryland's case or fee is determined as all of the ACC schools are committed to the ACC and will be staying put.

The ACC Presidents have issued the following statement and their is no evidence anywhere that contradicts what the Presidents of the ACC have stated:


"We, the undersigned presidents of the Atlantic Coast Conference, wish to express our commitment to preserve and protect the future of our outstanding league, the statement read. "We want to be clear that the speculation about ACC schools in negotiations or considering alternatives to the ACC are totally false.

"The presidents of the ACC are united in our commitment to a strong and enduring conference. The ACC has long been a leader in intercollegiate athletics, both academically and athletically, and the constitution of our existing and future member schools will maintain the ACC's position as one of the nation's premier conferences."

The statement was signed by the 15 current and future members of the ACC -- Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Louisville and Notre Dame included -- and did not include Maryland president Wallace Loh.

It does matter. You are naive to believe that statement, and even if the ACC stays together, expansion will still happen.

Unfortunately for the ACC, that statement is rather meaningless unless ALL of the ACC schools sign a Grant of Rights, similar to what the Big 12 did. But most ACC schools refused to sign. Seems to me, they aren't as committed as they proclaim in this statement.

I would imagine the Maryland case will be resolved before the NCAA Tourney. I remember hearing that several months back and that once that is done, the dominoes will begin to fall again.

That would be nice. I really haven't heard anything about it recently. That should be the first domino.

Yes, Tulsa is going to join the Big East. Other than that nothing is going to happen in regard to expansion because without ACC schools being involved the Big 10, SEC, and Big 12 have no one to expand with.
