A salary cap in baseball is the main issue, but revenue splits, national media rights and local TV blackouts are also factors.

For @testudotimes, @JudeWilkenfeld and I were outside Jones-Hill House trying to get players to comment. An athletics staffer took pictures of us, and a police dispatch was called for suspicious activity; a cop and 2 cop cars pulled up, and officers ID’d us and asked us to leave.

Sources: Maryland coach Mike Locksley has been dismissed. Maryland dropped to 2-5 on Saturday after a last-second loss to Rutgers. Locksley is 39-54 overall at Maryland, including his interim stint in 2015. Maryland is on a bye this week.

Locksley did a great job carrying the program through a really difficult time when he took over. You could tell how much coaching Maryland meant to him. But years of fan frustration eventually turned into apathy for many. It was past time for a move to be made.
