Message: [QUOTE="PeteCalvin, post: 442237, member: 439"] I think you're dead on. Once Swofford drew in ND, Delany had to feel not only pissed, but worried that PSU was ripe for poaching. Had Maryland not been so cash poor, the ACC may have had time to get PSU. There is no doubt in my mind that the Maryland move was a big FU to Swofford and also a desperate act to avoid being raided. Rutgers was simply a bystander that happened to be in the right place and the right time. The BIG needed to move fast to close what could have been a gaping wound and took RU as a travel partner for UMD. No doubt PSU would want someone other than RU, but that's what they got. I can't help but think PSU would rather play ND, SU, Pitt, and BC over RU and MD. [/QUOTE]
