Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 181719, member: 780"] Playing GU in DC would do little for building a rivalry with Maryland. It might piss them off because it will make their refusal to schedule GU a little more obvious. And it makes SU look like we still have one foot in the Big East. Playing Maryland --- and beating them --- will have a huge affect on SU. The DC - Baltimore area is a VERY important recruiting area for SU (from Carmello to Sherman Douglas to Moten). And Maryland has a huge fan base, while Georgetown has very few fans. It's a private school and most of its students aren't even from the area. With games against MD, Virginia andVirginia Tech plus being in the ACC, we are going to have a lot of exposure in DC. I gotta wonder if playing Georgetown has that much incremental value. Now St Johns and Villanova are a different deal We need continued presence in both NYC and Philadelphia. De were are going to have covered. [/QUOTE]
