From afar, you get this sense that at Maryland, post-Duke game riots are
considered good, clean fun. But as we discussed some time ago, they come
at a cost. In one riot, enormous property damage was suffered. And
in another this past season, after the women defeated Duke for the national
title, a
young woman named Josefina Peña nearly lost her life. She has just managed
to start walking again.
Maryland continues to struggle with hooligans, but there is a pretty simple
solution: just kick a large number out of school. The rest will figure it out
quickly enough.
