Team House Internet

It is amazing that the varsity team house finally has Internet connection. There was Internet the first day and than after that there has not been any due to something with the server. The university has finally done something and fixed whatever was messed up. For Maryland to be a huge school in a huge conference (ACC) they do not give that much too their sports programs. The ACC is the best baseball conference i the country and we are the least funded team in the conference. Other teams in the conference have alot better facilities to use for indoor use and their outdoor fields are better. Don't get me wrong Maryland has nice things in the baseball program but it does not compare to some of the other ACC schools.
Maryland has a lot of resources and nice facilities compared to other schools in other conferences. It is just that the other ACC schools in the conference have really nice stuff. I know some people that play at small division I programs or even division II and III that would love to have what we have but it makes it hard to compete in this conference with just nice stuff because we need great. The team house Internet is just one example about how the university does not care that much about typical non-revenue sports programs. Another big problem is that we are so far north and we don't get to practice year around like the more southern schools.
