Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 543552, member: 780"] Penn State will draw a big crowd at Maryland. They always have. There's a lot of interest in PSU in DC and there's a lot of Terp fans that see PSU as a rival. (The last Maryland QB to beat PSU was Dick Shiner in the early 1960's.) Penn State has always recruited this area well. Michigan and Ohio State will also draw well as there will be local interest and there are a lot of Big 10 alumni in DC. But those crowds will shrink. The ONLY reason the B1G selected those schools was because of the number of cable customers in their geographic area. Both the Rutgers and UMD Athletic departments were bleeding millions of dollars. They were vulnerable. For this money both schools signed on top be permanent punching bags for the powers in the Big Ten. [/QUOTE]
