Members of Maryland’s “Champions Club,” a group of high-level donors to the university and athletic department, sent a letter to the Board of Regents that vouched for current head football coach DJ Durkin.
The letter said the group takes “great issue” with Maryland being labeled as a “toxic environment.” Here’s part of the letter, which was obtained by The Baltimore Sun’s Don Markus and FOX 5.
“We take great issue with the Maryland football program under Coach Durkin being labeled as any type of ‘toxic environment’. Many of us have had the opportunity to regularly attend numerous football practices, team workouts, team dinners and team events, to travel with the team for away football games and be on the sideline for home football games.
