That means not continuing at least one old one.
"We won't schedule Maryland," Krzyzewski told Zarzour. "They left, and we're not going to have a relationship with them. We believe that the people who shook hands a number of years ago and said, 'We're going to make the ACC this great conference,' we'll lock arms with them and go forward with them."

Most everyone you read agrees that teams leaving conferences are making a dramatically terrible decision when it comes to traditions and rivalries. But universities have the right to compete where they want I suppose.
