7 takeaways from report examining whether University of Maryland football had a 'toxic' culture

The Baltimore Sun has obtained a copy of the roughly 200-page investigative report probing the University of Maryland football program’s culture following allegations that the team was ruled by an atmosphere of bullying and intimidation.

The football program has been under a harsh spotlight since the death of 19-year-old Jordan McNair, who suffered heatstroke during a May 29 practice in College Park. This investigation into the state flagship’s football program — which is being overseen by the University System of Maryland’s governing body — was catalyzed by explosive media reports that described a “toxic culture” on the team.
