Maryland Fans, Duke Is Not Happening So Give It Up Already

Over at The Washington Post, Maryland alum Rudy Gersten has a whine up about why Duke wouldn’t play Maryland in Mike Krzyzewski’s final ACC/Big Ten Challenge game to, you know, make Maryland fans feel good and give them a sense of closure.

In fairness, it’s not a bad article and even says some nice things about Coach K. He seems like a decent sort and this is not aimed at him personally.

But really: where do they get off?

When Maryland left the ACC for Big Ten money, they left their ACC rivalries behind.

Coach K himself underscored this, saying “That’s not gonna happen again, because we’re not gonna schedule them … And I’m sorry that Maryland’s not in the ACC.
