Scott Garceau called me on Monday and asked about whether or not I heard anything about a potential Terrapin move to the Big 10. I quickly dismissed the notion just thinking about the 50 million buyout that had been mentioned. Now Friday morning at 1 AM the rumor and speculation is growing but I still have no idea what’s behind the whole discussion, though I do have many thoughts on the matter. Saturday morning on Terp Talk DC and the … Read More »
