Recruiting has been the main problem for PSU, forever. The place is just not easy to get to from a lot of the country. Flying there from here (RSW) is a 21-hour deal. Flying from Chicago (ORD) is 19 hours.

You really gotta fly to Pittsburgh to get there, and then it's planes, trains and automobiles.

In either case it would be quicker to drive.

I guess it depends who you are traveling with.

A small group of guys going for a game, that us a two stop trip.

I'm too old to drive like that anymore. That would be a 2-day trip at a minimum. More like 3.
