Bob ... ahhhh.
 
I was on the Arkansas campus two falls ago for several days around the Florida game. Of course, the athletic facilities are absolutely great. But the rest of the campus is too. They have spent a lot of money on the whole deal. And the town itself is also very nice including the main street that runs into campus that has the bars and restaurants.
 
Where are these kids that Maryland will now recruit who want to play in the Big10 and not the ACC?
 
They aren't in Maryland or DC or Virginia, I can tell you that. Stanford, Notre Dame and Penn State have always done well in the area. The rest of the Big Ten have not. The only reason Maryland did this was because they were broke and couldn't figure out a way to keep from going even more broke.
 
This is an ACC area. That's what people have cared about for 50 years. This switch could easily result in Maryland having even more trouble recruiting. The ONLY reason they went to the B1G was they were broke.
 
Rutgers built its program on Florida players and a few New Yorkers and a vision of National Championships. Who is going to want to go there to be steamrolled by Michigan and Ohio State and Wisconsin on a yearly basis. The Big Ten wanted RU for the number of cable subscribers in NJ ... nothing else.
