The University of Maryland, College Park will launch an external investigation into the football program’s coaching practices in the wake of damning reports about the team’s staff and treatment of players, school President Wallace D. Loh wrote in a letter to the university community Saturday night.
The letter was sent about an hour after third-year football coach DJ Durkin and three other staff members were placed on administrative leave.
