Yes. Joe Paterno dropped those series.
Penn State has not been relevant since he did on the national scene. He's not at Penn State anymore. Getting back to their roots might be the shot in the arm that they need.
Yes Maryland has played them 39 times, and Temple 44 times. The others (Pitt, Syracuse, and WVU) are quite longer. If Maryland satisfies the PSU fan's appetite for regional rivals, that's fine. I doubt it though.
I've heard the new AD say they don't need a rival. She's not someone with PSU history. I think you'll see tremendous excitement in Pittsburgh in September for the renewal of their rivalry series. I'm already hearing about it on sports talk radio.
