What we’ve known for a while will finally come to fruition this week as Maryland and Rutgers join the Big Ten. Maryland and Rutgers will celebrate in their own ways but it appears that the Big Ten mascots are joining Testudo and the Rutgers Scarlet Knight in some photo opportunities around the nation’s capital…

The best thing to come of Maryland and Rutgers in the Big Ten? The ill-fated Legends and Leaders divisions will give way to a geography based divisional structure.
Welcome to the B1G, Maryland and Rutgers.
