Pete Thamel of Sports Illustrated reports that by the year 2020, the Maryland Terrapins could make about $100 million more in conference revenue with their move from the ACC to the Big Ten.

Here’s some ideas on what Maryland could buy with 100 million smackeroos:

- This stupid house in Los Altos

- Nearly 100 six-person personal submarines. Probably pretty awesome for recruiting

- They could develop a World of Warcraft-scale MMORPG. World of Maryland would be a pretty awesome game for a while, but then all your characters would request transfers to Diablo III and Starcaft 2

- Approximately 98 million Doritos Locos tacos from Taco Bell

- A sub-“Starry Night” Van Gogh

- 66 million red Tibetan mastiffs

- An AirBus jet

- 4,000 brown bears. Yes, you can BUY AN ACTUAL BEAR for $25,000. Bonus: Maryland can outfit the brown bears with uniforms when all their players transfer to other schools

- You could pay all your players! Wait, no, forget this one
