On Nov. 19, 2012 University of then-Maryland President Wallace Loh announced Maryland's plan to move to the Big Ten Conference. One year, seven months and 12 days later, that plan became a reality, as Maryland became an official member of the Big Ten Conference on July 1, 2014.

Then-Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany officially welcomes Maryland into the Big Ten at the #B1GinBaltimore event at the Under Armour Brand House on June 30, 2014.

The Big Ten has been a great conference, established in 1896, and it's a greater conference after tomorrow with Maryland as our newest member. Maryland is not only educating great undergraduate students but also leading the way into the 21st century with a terrific research commitment. I want to welcome Maryland. I want to welcome the coaches and the athletes. We are going to have great competition. It's the beginning of something terrific.
