MD to the Big 11

[Thousand Made-Up Loves]

So, what's the over/under on the number of football games Maryland will win in the new Big 11 over the next five seasons?

I'll start at 8 and take the under. At least it will get Randy Edsall fired.

Fuck you, Debbie Yow.

Don't know what you're talking about, but the title sounds like the name of a good porn flick.

[showlistdc]

well, it's already at 12 schools, so I'm not sure where you're getting 11 from.  With the addition of Maryland and Rutgers, the Big Ten will be at 14.

Lol.

I think it's shit. Maybe they should focus on making the god damn people better so people will fucking care and go to the games instead of shitting on decades of tradition for money.

are you talking about porn, or football?

I don't see what anyone is upset about?  Best solution is to just shut down sports at Maryland.  Everyone argues about this program being cut, football team isn't winning enough games, coach who won national championship should be fired for not getting better recruits, conference change whining.

Students have to pay money so that there is all these scholarship sports.  Tuition is high enough.  Shut down the sports and save them money. And also I won't have to hear people complaining about it.  Supposed to be amateur anyway. If you aren't on the team what do you care?

MD olympic sports are in the shitter because Debbie Yow is as responsible with taxpayer money as Congress. She bet big on expanding and renovating Byrd Stadium and she bet wrong. And even since the impeccably inept Wallace "Leadership is Overrated" Loh took over, the athletic department is still $25 million in the red.

I would love to see this whole league transfer get shitcanned because these idiots violated sunshine laws.

Fucking morons.

Tax payer money doesn't go to sports.  They are funded with student fees.  Unless you are a current maryland student I don't know why you care.

[Thousand Made-Up Loves]

Either way, that's money coming out of students' pockets. You can't just opt out of paying student fees, moron.

UMD is the only 1-A football school in the metro area and is one of the region's pre-eminent universities. A healthy and successful UMD brings positive attention to the area and represents it well. A floudering UMD brings ridicule and embarrassment.

I can't believe I really had to explain that to you. Well, I guess I can. You're an idiot.

huh?  Student fees fund the athletic department?  Not even close to being true.

[James Ford]

Unlike sports at many other public universities, Maryland athletics are not supported by state funding, instead relying on fundraising that has slumped in recent years and student fees.

[James Ford]

Nearly 8 percent of Maryland?s athletics revenue in 2009-10 came from direct institutional support, and more than 17 percent came from student fees, according to USA Today?s college athletics finance database. (Maryland?s total revenue from those two streams is still significantly lower than the national FBS average of 60 percent.) It got about 18 percent each from contributions and conference revenues, and more than 23 percent from ticket sales.

no one cares about maryland football and it does nothing to bring anything positive to the universityies image.  You are the moron who thinks college football is so important that you call someone a moron.  My suggestion, idiot dude, is to shut down sports at college park saving the students fees and the sparing you the ridcule and embarrassment that it somehow presents to you.

see james ford comments below.  for some reason people think college sports bring in money when the opposite is true.  I will never understand why anyone would think this is important to the university they attend.  Yale, Harvard, and Georgetown's football teams seem to be pretty far of the radar but I don't see them hurting the schools reputations.

[StoneTheCrow]

Your comment seems to say 100% funded which is untrue (as confirmed by Mr. Ford).
