Ben Jealous calls for Maryland football coach, athletic director to be suspended

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Ben Jealous on Saturday called for the University of Maryland to suspend its football coach and athletic director after explosive ESPN reporting into the team’s toxic culture and offensive lineman Jordan McNair’s final practice.

McNair, 19, a former McDonogh standout, died June 13 after collapsing during practice in College Park about two weeks earlier. His family has said the cause of death was heatstroke.
