Losing graduate programs to Baltimore in 1970 hurt their future athletic donation stream. The committed the equivalent of suicide when Len Bias died and gutted the athletic department firing Lefty and replacing him with Bob Wade and then refusing to support Bobby Ross so he left for GT. At the same time the athletic department was committed by the administration of the school to fully funding Title IX despite the fact that MD did not have a graduate profile to match UVa's or UNC's needed to bankroll such spending. There is anecdotal evidence that the losses to Duke in basketball and to West Va in football were used by Kirwan to sell his desire to move MD to the Big 10. Some say MD's athletic program was purposely starved. Changing tastes and more competition in the market also hurt MD. IIRC it has only been since MD joined the Big 10 that the school administration began sending some money back to the athletic programs. MD's problems run hand in hand with Brit Kirwan. Learn more about him and you will understand Maryland's problems much better.
