Maryland trades football date for NCAA finals
The University of Maryland reportedly swapped its football schedule with Penn State to Dec 4 to carry the NCAA basketball finals on television, a move framed by officials as benefiting the NCAA financially. A state baseball tournament debut in Maryland is planned with 32 teams advancing to Wichita. Martinsburg sees coaching shakeups and union critiques, while local players like Terry Strock join Virginia Tech and Junior Smallwood shifts to the Washington Senators. The period closes with regional and national Legion playoff structures building toward August competitions.
