Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 2419789, member: 780"] There are degrees of money grabbing. This game is a lot more obvious as a money grab than the average game. GU needs this game more than we do. That is, if you are aware of what their average attendance is in games in which the opponent is not named "Syracuse" or "Villanova". We recruit well in the DC area and always have. Playing Georgetown --- a school that we rarely compete head-to-head with for players --- does little for that. Maryland would be a better choice for recruiting purposes. So you want to play Northeastern Private schools? Well just about the whole Big East qualifies (Villanova, Seton Hall, and PC, especially) along with Temple, St Joes and LaSalle in Philly, all the Ivies, GW in DC. I just think they are taking advantage of people who are stuck mentally in the 1980's and 1990's. [/QUOTE]
