If Debbie Yow didn't kill the Maryland AD office and settle it in so much in debt then Maryland wouldn't have left and B1G would have had a FA school in Penn State after the 2016 season when their TV contract expired. Delany realized Penn State was PISSED at him and the B1G for how they piled on after Sandusky sanctions and Penn State would have listened to the ACC. Barry Alvarez confirmed the additions of Rutgers/Maryland were to solidify Penn State. [url]http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/182573751.html[/url]
 
When talking about another league obviously they are referring to the ACC. Delany did a preemptive strike against the ACC and took the weakest school. Thus, if Debbie Yow didn't suck at her job so bad she destroyed Maryland's books they wouldn't have been desperate to leave. What the ACC should have done is gotten together all the member schools and balanced Maryland's sheets and had them take a 1 million dollars less as long as it took to pay back the advance and kept them in the conference. However, Maryland's new leadership came from the B1G and wanted to create a new legacy at the school. Thus, if Maryland wasn't desperate I think Penn State/Notre Dame was the grand plan of Swofford and that league would have been the 2nd best overall conference in football, and best basketball, and best academic conference in the BCS. However, Maryland buckled and Penn State is solid B1G forever IMO.
