Message: [QUOTE="PeteCalvin, post: 650123, member: 439"] The ACC will take them for one reason and one reason only: to further UMD's plunge into irrelevancy. You give JHU a home in the best lax conference, right inside of UMD's prime recruiting radius, playing the natural r!vals that the people of Maryland are used to playing...that has to have an effect on the outlook of Maryland's lacrosse program. Although I'm semi-serious about that, here's the reality. This is now a high stakes chess match. It's about the ACC outwitting the BiG and holding them from growing any significant roots in the east. You let the BiG take a big lax fish in JHU, you give their fledgling lacrosse league instant credibility. But if Swofford takes JHU, he swallows all the big fish and creates a lax league that is virtually untouchable for the next decade. I will be shocked if Swofford doesn't make a move, and soon.
