[QUOTE="MikeRafone, post: 129819597, member: 1482681"] The Baltimore-Washington corridor produces a ton of good football players. The Big Whatever's move into PA, NJ, and MD means more of those kids are interested in staying at home, ala the 80's when PSU and UMD use to battle hammer and tongs over the MD kids. Now MD can tell those recruits parents that they can travel a reasonable distance to see them play PSU, OSU, Mich, and MSU, four very good football programs regularly, plus thump Rutgers yearly. Before the move Clemson was the closest power team. FSU the other, was akin to our Oklahoma trips with the caveat you only got to see them at home once every four years. Unless the folks are rabid UMD fans and would be fine with watching them play anyone, the former situation is going to to beat the latter one every time. Plus MD sits in basketball recruit heaven and now plays in a much less top-heavy league in that sport. It won't be long before the Terp's own the Lil' 13 outright. Maybe they can call the regular season "The Maryland Invitational Tournament"? And people are wondering why rumors of G. Tech jumping from the ACC are floating around again? [/QUOTE]
