Also - if someone has a Twitter handle to burn, retweet this story and ask Tips if the ESPiN involvement will likely force the Big Ten TV contract to Fox. I bet you Tips will delete or ignore it.

So, Delaney poaches Maryland and Rutgers from the ACC & BigLeast and they respond by trying to talk PedSU and someone else into leaving for their JV conference?

I don't see Delaney being too happy about this......

Am I the only one wondering how long it will be until the UNC & Georgia Tech to BiG talks start up again?

I wouldn't say they're a JV conference. While it certainly isn't the most impressive football conference, 6 bowl wins this year and the NC aren't shabby standards. Duke probably should have taken the Money Badger too. The addition of Louisville only helps to change their perception as a conference, unless Petrino falls for their volleyball players.

The ACC is attempting to assess Maryland a $52.3 million exit fee prior to its departure.

I have to wonder if Maryland actually has $52.3 million to hand over? If the University, maybe not. If the state government is on the hook, then I guess they do.

So in my mind, the question becomes, since I know nothing about the legal merits of the case, could there be a time when Terpes say "if you actually want us to play the game tomorrow against the scheduled B1G school, then each Big 10 school has to hand over $5 million to get the Terpes to take the field? With fewer games, the tOSU SOS would go down.

Maryland issues subpoenas to 10 ACC schools, ESPN

Ten ACC schools and various media groups have been subpoenaed in an effort by the University of Maryland to obtain documents connected to the school’s withdrawal from the league, according to court records released Friday.

“The ACC’s clear goal is to prevent any meaningful progress or resolution in this case until Maryland formally leaves the ACC in June,” Maryland wrote in a motion filed in Guilford County (N.C.) Superior Court. “Illegally and tortiously engaging in self-help, the ACC has already wrongfully withheld more than $20 million in ACC and NCAA distributions that belong to Maryland. Interest at the legal rate on the amount tortiously withheld to date by the ACC now amounts to approximately $130,000 per month.”

Following the ACC’s recent filing to stay all discovery in the ongoing legal battle over Maryland’s roughly $52 million exit payment following its announced departure to the Big Ten, the school in January and Feburary summoned documents from the following institutions: North Carolina, Wake Forest, Georgia Tech, Duke, North Carolina State, Clemson, Notre Dame, Syracuse and Virginia. According to an affidavit signed by North Carolina-based attorney J. Alexander S. Barrett, only Virginia Tech and Georgia Tech have thus far complied, while North Carolina State was granted extra time “only on the basis of time set forth for compliance.”

In addition, Maryland has served subpoenas to ESPN, consistent with its allegation that the television network coaxed the ACC into trying to lure Big Ten schools away. Included in the subpoenas to the 10 ACC schools — examples provided were for Duke and North Carolina State — are requests of all communication with ESPN relating to the ACC’s broadcast rights, strategy meetings involving the integration of Syracuse, Pittsburgh and Notre Dame into the league, and contact with any Big Ten members about joining the ACC.
