[QUOTE="Calvin, post: 1468364, member: 4069"] Heh, good one Delaney will be missed. Seemed to be pretty savvy and a step ahead. That said, some of the strategic moves he made could fall apart with someone else running the show. The conversation around Maryland and Rutgers seems to assume that you're best off with as many strong teams as possible in the conference. I think that's a bad assumption. The current playoff format means you want a top-heavy conference, but not 14 tOSUs. With as many heavy hitters as we already have, we're best off having teams with a strong fanbase for their relative performance. Rutgers and Maryland meet that bar nicely. It's impressive that the BIG has out-earned the SEC on a per-school average. For SEC fans, football >= religion. [/QUOTE]
