I saw this transaction too, and was confused for about five
minutes. I think the schools in question are part of the Penn State
system and have recently added the "Penn State" prefix, like
UMass-Lowell did a few years ago. The thing is, Longwood is
actually in Virginia. Go figure.
PSU (the big one) competes fully in the Big Ten.
