Message: [QUOTE="buffalorange, post: 162376, member: 758"] Some details on the switch to StatePenn from an article today in the Buffalo News: [url]http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/high-schools/article715399.ece[/url] Interesting quotes: "But deep down in my heart I always wanted to see Penn State. I always had an admiration for it since I was in fifth grade when I bought that Penn State varsity jacket." Penn State never stopped recruiting him despite Lynch's verbal commitment. [I]and good news for SU and its new conference... (my boldface type)[/I] "It started off with ACC [Atlantic Coast Conference], then went on to the Big 10, the Big 12 and eventually the SEC [Southeastern Conference]. [B]In football, it has always been important to me to play in those big conferences[/B], but for schools to also hold that academic integrity as well." I'm sure Lynch is not the only player who feels this way about choosing a school partly based on its conference. [/QUOTE]
