re: PSU Fans

I know there are many PSU fans that agree with this, especially those who live in the region, which is quite a few. We've also done exceptionally well recruiting in Maryland and Virginia over the years.
Personally, I love being in the Big Ten, but that may be because I live in Indiana now. However, as objective as I can be, I do think PSU and the Big Ten has been a good fit for everyone.
Some history for those who are interested. Joe Paterno tried to form an all sports eastern conference back in the 80s. It would have included Penn State, Pitt, Syracuse, Boston College, West Virginia and I don't know who else. Possibly Miami, Temple, Maryland, Rutgers?
Pitt for sure,and maybe Syracuse voted it down, preferring to keep the Big East primarily a basketball conference. At the time, Penn State was in the Atlantic Ten for basketball only. It wasn't long after that that the Big Ten came calling.
As far as the Big Ten expanding, I'm for it, though Notre Dame is pretty much the only school that truly helps the conference, IMO.

It seems like West Virginia would be a nice addition too. Solid football and basketball programs.
