As a UMD alum, sure UMD would love being dealt into the associated with being a BIG affiliate member, that’s a no brainer. But regarding schools fitting into the BIG (as an affiliate) Arizona State simply fits better, based on size, campus, academics and other sports. Again, from a long term perspective, ASU is a diamond in the rough with huge upside down the road.
Again, I’m not saying no to ASU… And obviously if they get to 8 they won’t care to add a 9th and make it odd again.
