Highlighting a fight that is brewing on college campuses, Willard wanted a bigger piece of the pie than Maryland could offer

Maryland basketball is the latest job to open, after Kevin Willard agreed to go to Villanova. One insider says that's bad for the Terps.

Kevin Willard is bolting Maryland to become the Villanova head coach, according to multiple reports, after an ugly saga in which the 49-year-old openly griped about aspects of the program during the team’s March Madness run. The Terrapins, a No. 4 seed, were eliminated by No. 1 Florida in the Sweet 16 on Thursday.

Villanova is set to hire Maryland's Kevin Willard as its next head coach. FOX Sports' John Fanta has the story here.

Nova's interest in Willard was well-known since the team parted with Kyle Neptune at the conclusion of their season, but instead of downplaying his potential exit, Willard used their interest as leverage in potential negotiations, publicly lambasting the Maryland athletic department's apparent lack of commitment to basketball.

Aston Villa striker Marcus Rashford scored twice in a 3-0 defeat of second-tier Preston North End in their FA Cup quarter-final at Deepdale on Sunday to earn a Wembley semi-final against fellow Premier League team Crystal Palace.

He loves this job, he reiterated. He wants to be at Maryland. He left Seton Hall for this job because he grew up watching Steve Francis play and Gary Williams coach. The tradition of Maryland basketball energized him. The possibilities excite him.

Villanova hired Maryland’s Kevin Willard as its new coach Sunday to replace the fired Kyle Neptune. Willard had been linked to the Villanova job throughout the NCAA Tournament, where the Terrapins earned a No. 4 seed and reached the Sweet 16 before losing to Florida. Maryland went 27-9 this season and 14-6 in the Big Ten Conference.
