Maryland Basketball:
Trimble Talks Pan-Am Experience, Expectations for Upcoming Year
On his experience in the Pan-Am games..."It was a great experience. I got to work out with some of the veteran guys that have been in the [NBA] and also overseas. I took a lot of things from them and learned. I think that going out there has taught me a lot and I can bring it back to the University of Maryland."

Soon schools could offer potential recruits up to 5,000 dollars in 'deferred compensation' starting as early as 2016.

Unsurprising to most sports fans the NCAA thinks this new policy would "irreparably harm" all schools.
