Pipkin told WBAL Radio he is resigning to pursue a Master's degree in sports management from Southern Methodist University.
That's *what* he's going to do, not why he's resigning. Has anyone heard the real reason?

I believe...that the smart politicians in Annapolis are doing exactly this. You can only fight for so long before you become burned out, or neglect your family, friends, peers, ect. If he has neither the ambition nor the desire for higher office, might as well chase some dreams before you become too old to chase them.Mr Pipkin sees the handwriting on the wall is getting the f$&@ out while he still can. I wish I could be right behind him.
Pretty Bad when the people running Maryland are giving up and moving. Not good for our fight at all.

Remember, while we may be shocked, public service as our founders understood it was never meant to be a life long job (ahem, cough, McCain, cough, Reid, cough, McConnel cough, Pelosi, cough, Bohner, cough, Uncle Joe...).

Because SMU doesn't offer the degree online & you can't be a MD State Senator AND live in Texas? Sadly. Why does there have to be a reason other than that which he's already stated? There doesn't *have* to be some secret or unstated reason.
