Maryland has moved from a “basketball conference” in the ACC to a “football conference” in the Big Ten, at least in the eyes of head football coach Randy Edsall.

“As a football coach, I feel better,” Edsall told Pressbox Baltimore. “I’m going to a football conference. I’m not in a basketball conference anymore.”

The fact that many college sports fans would consider Maryland to indeed be a “basketball school” and that fans of other conferences might get a chuckle out of the Big Ten being considered a “football conference,” is a topic for a different day.

With its Big Ten move and a greater emphasis on football, Maryland is likely going to convert Cole Field House into a football practice facility. While no official announcement has been made by the school, renderings have leaked and the tweet below from InsideMDSports publisher Jeff Erman (and the ensuing story that is behind a paywall) implies that it’s just a matter of time.
