They are. But is Maryland a Big Ten team either?
Maryland is not a good fit, for sure. They are in desperate financial position, but they're an ACC basketball school at heart (founding member of ACC). They were always a bit of a red headed stepchild with no true rival. Rutgers joining eases their "fit" in the B1G a bit. But the ACC allowed Maryland to have a *chance* to win the league on occasion in football (2001) they're going to be buried in the B1G. And those big time ACC hoops games are irreplaceable. B1G has solid basketball right now, but nothing can compare to those nights when UNC and Duke come to town.
