More than two years after Maryland football player Jordan McNair died during a workout of heat stroke, the university has reached a $3.5 million settlement with McNair's parents, Marty McNair and Tonya Wilson. The total of the settlement was reported by ESPN's Heather Dinich.
The amount is pending approval from the Maryland Board of Public Works, which will meet on Jan. 27.
"This has been a long and painful fight, but we will attempt to find closure even though this is a wound that will never, ever fully heal," Marty McNair and Tonya Wilson said in a joint statement issued by their attorney.
