Maryland has “parted ways” with football strength and conditioning coach Rick Court, athletic director Damon Evans said Tuesday.
The announcement comes three days after Court, head football athletic trainer Wes Robinson and director of athletic training Steve Nordwall were officially placed on leave following an ESPN report detailing events leading to the death of Jordan McNair and alleged mistreatment of the team’s players. Evans initially said the school had parted ways with one staff member, and when pressed further revealed the staffer to be Court.
After the press conference, Yahoo Sports’ Pete Thamel reported that Court actually resigned Monday and reached a financial settlement with the school today.
