Not taking WVU was a mistake.


Maryland is partly to blame because had Dr. Wallace Loh's intentions been known, the ACC may have taken WVU.

In 1990 the ACC was a basketball league. I don't believe Joe Paterno would have joined a southern basketball league at that time. Gene Corrigan may have tried to sell Paterno had he known Paterno was looking. But he didn't. Corrigan did well to sell Bobby Bowden. After that he started the pursuit of Notre Dame.

I credit Swofford for the transition from a southern basketball league to football and the smoothe addition of northern members. He made it look easy to put yankees in a southern conference. Not easy in my opinion for most.
