BOTH just had great fball/bball years.


WVU had 10 fball wins and a Sweet 16 appearance. Maryland went to a bowl pulled a 6 seed in the Big Dance. Not too bad.

I do feel WVU has some long term issues with recruiting for football. The Big12 is a nightmare geographically for WVU, but I don't know why THAT reflects well on the ACC. WVU is stuck. But even they make more money than all but a few ACC schools. That says something.

WRT Maryland. The future is quite bright for them. They just killed it on the recruiting trail in football, and again, they had a solid year in 16. They're competing as well in the B1G as they had been in the ACC in recent history. Basketball seems to be doing the same. But by gollie, look what they did in football recruiting. I would be QUITE happy about the direction of their program. Who knows what facility and coaching upgrades they can make with an extra $20 million to throw around?
