That was a curious move.

But this was the time when Maryland had doubled down on football in an almost desperate attempt to achieve financial stability. Fridge's success spiked interest in MD football. The Administration added seats to the stadium betting "on the come" that the crowds would continue to come. It was their only way to get the revenue they needed.

They had so much riding on this, they decided to upgrade the coaching and bring in a hotter coach. They shafted Fridge, who was one of their own.

That move failed and they became easy pickings for the B!G.

Maryland left the ACC for the money it needed and for no other reason.

Now they can look forward to getting their asses kicked in football for decades (like Rutgers).

In basketball, they might do well. But no better than they would have done in the ACC.

But even in basketball they are still desperate for dollars. That's why they are eating crow and scheduling Georgetown.
