<p>It looks like the Terps will be assigned to the Big 10 East Division for the 2014 Football season. The other teams in the East will be Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State, Indiana, and Rutgers. The plan is to play a nine conference game season -- six games from the East and three games from the West (Iowa, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Minnestoa, Purdue, Illinios, and Northwestern). It doesn't look good for the Terps</p>

<p>I think it looks great for Maryland. Fear the Under Armour.</p>

<p>4-5 in Big 10 conference games at the best</p>

<p>College Park will soon discover that playing Michigan. Ohio State and Penn State in football is going to be a lot different than playing Duke, Wake Forest and North Carolina in football.</p>

<p>I hope the Terps will upgrade football. PSU - MD series goes back a long way when PSU was an independent, with PSU almost always winning. Good to see this series is back:</p>

<p>You would think that it would help us with recruiting though…talented guys would probably rather play for a UMD team that is playing in the Big 10 than in the ACC. Basketball will stay good as well. Got to hope that we will be able to eventually compete.</p>

<p>Yes, correct, Penn State used to play Maryland when PSU was an independent.</p>

<p>As a former Nittany Lion fan I much preferred their old in-state and neighboring states schedules - Maryland, Rutgers, Temple, Pitt, Syracuse, West Virginia and Ohio State.</p>

<p>Couldn’t care less about playing Indiana or Northwestern or Iowa, etc.</p>

<p>But the main point is - UMD-CP is gonna get killed every Saturday.</p>

<p>“College Park will soon discover that playing Michigan … blah, blah, blah”</p>

<p>The team is Maryland, not “College Park”.</p>

<p>Recruits are starting to come to Maryland.</p>

<p>“The late additions enabled Maryland to move up to fifth among Atlantic Coast Conference teams in the recruiting rankings for this class and, perhaps more significantly, fourth among Big Ten teams. The Terps are scheduled to join the Big Ten beginning in 2014.”</p>

<p>2014 will be a very exciting time to be in Byrd Stadium. The new UMD prez and new AD support FB much more than their predecessors. MD would not have joined the B1G if they weren’t prepared to come and play with the b1g boys.</p>
