Maryland and Illinois have never played each other in football. That will change Saturday as the Illini visit College Park at 3:30 p.m. ET on the Big Ten Network.
Of course, this game seems rather inconsequential compared to the off-field drama surrounding it. The months-long investigation into the program’s culture is complete, and the full report outlines a problematic environment within the team itself and the athletic department as a whole. As of this writing, no decisions regarding head coach DJ Durkin or other university officials have been made.
While that’s all going on, interim head coach Matt Canada will try to lead his Terps to another bounceback win.
