My gut is Maryland is struggling financially. With the Big 10 subsidy they would be bleeding red. Locksley, has done as much as he can, but cannot get over the hump and still gets beating down by ty the Big 10 schools. He's got lots of turbulance in the staff and program is not getting attendance. (AD been trying to help, but no new sources of income). I sense Locksley on the hot seat. I also heard Willard is finalist for the Vilanova job and he's very interested. Really??? leaving a Big 10 school, in the NCAA and wants to leave.?? what's that about... I perceive something behind the scenes with MD athletics and need to grow financiallly including NIL. (when you have PSU right at your back door. SMU is proviate, unlimited resources and no need for freedom of information, but rather spend. They were in the South west conference and were competing right with Texas and A&M... the SWC craziness at the time, ended SMU posture (texas and A&M were happy and they thought they were finished). They are back and the ACC gave them a lifeline and boom they are taking advantage of it. Bottomline , if they can increase ACC perception in the national stage. Great. ACC needs other schools to do the same commitment
