First-and-10: ACC vs. Maryland lawsuit looms large in realignment
I wonder if this does happen will Klempson continue to play the Gamecocks
1. I don't want to get on a soapbox, but ...
The Big East on Tuesday shot its popgun in the air and thumped its chest at the latest round of conference realignment.
But understand this: The big, bad howitzer is coming, everyone. Stand back and cover your ears.
When Maryland finds a way to get out of paying the full $50 million buyout to the ACC for joining the Big Ten; when the Terps show the rest of the ACC how to leave a conference on the cheap despite signing what are supposed to be binding legal documents, conference realignment will reach the final, end-game stage.
The dismantling of the ACC and strengthening of the Big Four is coming. The only things that can stop it are high-priced lawyers.
“We’d be absolutely foolish to not watch Maryland,” one FSU official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told Sporting News. “If or when they get out of (the $50 million buyout), everything changes. It’s almost like free agency.”
If that’s true, Maryland is the Curt Flood of college football. And it could lead to the one remaining mega move still out there: Florida State and Clemson to the Big 12.
