per CBS. Maryland is the only Big Ten team on the list:
3. Maryland
Maryland is in a similar situation to Virginia, in that they haven't had a ton of football success, but they're located in a strong recruiting ground with access to other deep recruiting areas. What puts the Terps ahead of Virginia, in my mind anyway, is that the Terps are now in the Big Ten, and will have a lot more money coming in the future than current ACC schools can count on, even with the ACC Network on the way in 2019.
Now, one disadvantage Maryland faces is having to share a division with Ohio State, Michigan and Michigan State. That will certainly make it a lot more difficult to climb up to the top of the mountain, but Maryland also has the full support of a company like Under Armour behind it, and we all saw what Nike was able to do for Oregon.
