Rutgers going next wouldn't be a surprise, but Maryland would be intriguing.
I mentioned this earlier (and read it elsewhere), but the Big Ten works more cohesively than any conference in the nation. It makes a lot of sense for them to not add a large block of teams from one conference (who have existing relationships) and instead grab one or two from the BE, B12, and/or ACC. For example, if they added Rutgers, Syracuse, Pitt, and Notre Dame to Penn State -- those five schools could really change the culture of the conference.
