COLLEGE PARK, Md. (WTVR) – The University of Maryland has approved a plan to leave the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) and move to the Big Ten conference.
The move comes after the school was forced to ax seven sports programs because of budget concerns. In fact, some athletic programs were in debt to the tune of $5 million a year.
To recap: Board of Regents vote not unanimous. Big Ten presidents council vote unanimous. Maryland's move effective 2014-15 year.
