Nah, the Terps aren't bolting the ACC for the Patriot League, but it might seem that way from Maryland's 2007-2008 schedule. Although it has not been officially released, sources close to the Terps program say they will host at least three Patriot League teams in non-conference action this season.

Holy Cross, American and Lehigh are all set to visit College Park this season, which must mean one of two things -- either Gary Williams thinks his team needs a soft early schedule, or, the theory we'd subscribe to, the Patriot League -- especially the top four or five teams -- has gained in stature enough to make scheduling three teams from the league respectable.

One thing is for certain, it would not have happened in the pre-scholarship era.
