In search of better revenue, Maryland left the ACC for the Big Ten in 2014. It’s been long enough now so that we have some perspective on the move and how it’s worked out.
The money is there and it has increased. As an ACC team, Maryland was getting around $58 million; last season it got $94.9 million.
However the average Big Ten haul was $125.5 million, so the Terps aren’t hitting it as big as their conference colleagues are.
In the ACC, FSU, a football power, pulled in $144.5, Louisville got $120, and UNC and UVA were in Maryland’s neighborhood with $96.
