The University System of Maryland Board of Regents voted to take over the investigations into the death of offensive lineman Jordan McNair, the board released in a statement Friday.
The board (USM) also announced that they are taking control over the commission investigating the football program's culture. Both reviews will be managed by the board, and any findings will be reported to the board and the university in College Park (UMCP).
"Earlier today, the Board of Regents was fully briefed by UMCP President Wallace Loh about the circumstances of Mr. McNair's tragic death, about the actions that have been taken since, and finally about the alarming allegations that have emerged in the last week related to the football program," USM Board of Regents Chair James Brady said in the statement.
