Maryland and Rutgers to the B1G

Re: Maryland and Rutgers to the B1G
Maryland just got through dropping seven sports so hard to see them adding hockey, but who knows in this crazy age. Maybe it will be the price of admission.
Here's how this conference expansion phase will go down. They will blow the Big Ten up like a balloon and then when the time is right/wrong depending on your perspective, the big boyz will quit leaving the remainders holding the bag.
Take a guess what side of the fence Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio State, Penn State, Indiana, Michigan State & Nebraska will be on?
And then on the other side will be the Maryland, Rutgers, Minnesota, Purdue, Illinois, Iowa & Northwestern.Last edited by dggoddard; 11-19-2012, 01:06 PM.

Originally posted by state of hockey View PostEven if it were a 50% thing I would imagine that the current six would stick together and merely call the conference something else. Who the hell would let them back into their conferences?
Seriously, this is not going to affect the BTHC at all...Jordan Kawaguchi for Hobey!!

Re: Maryland and Rutgers to the B1G
Zero chance the BTHC doesn't happen, but in a fantasy world where it didn't happen you are kidding yourself if you think the other conferences wouldn't take them back with open armstUMD is Jan Brady per Brenthoven. Whew.... thanks for clearing THAT up.
