In a story published on Oct. 1 in Maryland’s student newspaper The Diamondback, Maryland booster Rick Jaklitsch backed Durkin when he said it was “ridiculous” that Durkin was put on leave. Since then, and understandably so, Terrapins players aren’t exactly in favor of Jaklitsch.

That now includes traveling with the team to games.
