Confusion, disappointment, even anger reigned for college sports fans over the last month. Alleged events at Penn State and Syracuse make the on-field and financial troubles at the University of Maryland seem paltry in comparison. That said, we are still allowed to root for the Terps. Disgusting action elsewhere does not change our commitment to Maryland. Maybe it just allows for more perspective. Bad news tends to be the only news from College Park these days. Awful play from the football team, a poor start for the men's basketball team and now the Athletic Department has much less money left than they thought.
