The University System of Maryland’s governing board has so far held four marathon meetings to discuss a damning review of the University of Maryland football team’s culture.
The Board of Regents has overseen not only the investigation into the team’s culture, but also a review of athletic department protocols and procedures on May 29 — the day offensive lineman Jordan McNair fell ill during a football practice in College Park. The 19-year-old athlete died about two weeks later.
Both reports paint a troubling picture of the athletics department at the state’s flagship university.
