re: Would we welcome GTech back to the conference with open arms?

I appreciate the fact that SEC ex-patriots are strewn across the DC metro area, but the Maryland fan base is largely NJ and NY kids and other out of staters. Culturally they do not fit the SEC and should never have left the ACC. They don't fit the BIG10 either. Maryland would be like adding Mizzou again, which actually was a better fit for the BIG10, at least in the St. Louis metro area where we lived. I have lived in suburban Baltimore on and off since 1990 and the fan base is either looking north to the Ivy's or South to UVA and UNC. Maryland is just not a good fit in the SEC. Maybe when the SEC adds men's lacrosse, we can talk about adding Maryland.
