University of Maryland College Park isn't a model of financial success.
It's a school of 41,000 students that has a woeful endowment of $542.1 million (2017). That would be dead last in the ACC for a school that would be one of the largest. It's lower than Clemson, which is in a poor state and the lowest in the current ACC at $621 million (2016). Maryland is not in a poor state. They truly have an endowment in the ranks of a commuter school as you state. Wallace Loh did nothing about it, and Daniel Mote didn't either before Loh.
The finances of athletics sort of follow the same pattern as finances at the whole place. It's been that way for a long time as you suggest, and will continue most likely depending on who is hired as the next President.
