The University of Maryland will be leaving the Atlantic Coast Conference to join the Big 10 in the 2014-15 season.
Maryland is hoping that the move will bring in more revenue for the school, which had to cut seven varsity sports programs in 2012.
Reaction from students, alumni, and fans has been extremely negative.
They feel at home in the ACC and not just for historical reasons.
The rest of the ACC has a similar mindset as Maryland and shares geography with them.
Moving to the Big 10 will take Maryland from their region and put them up against teams from the Midwest.
Either way, the deal has gone through, and only time will tell how it turns out.
