1) Schools are starting to doubt the revenue numbers the Big 10 is throwing out there so now it's a "wait and see" approach.
2) Maryland may have to pay more than the Big 10 bargained for so they can't take too many at the same time especially if they offered to pay for some of the fee.

Personally I think everyone's reading into it too much. The Big Ten which usually moves at a glacial pace in the last 6 years has started a television/digital network, added 3 schools in Nebraska, Maryland and Rutgers. This is a league that in the nearly 60 years prior to that added only Michigan State (to replace Chicago) and Penn State. I'm sure they are pausing to see what happens next and to work on integrating the latest members.
