Makes total sense, pretty sure watching Maryland football is toxic for everyone too.

Wasn't Maryland the school with an administration that pulled a Kansas and Texas Tech? Fired one of the better coaches they've ever had for reasons many consider a lot less egregious than other coaches have survived?

Don't recall that guy they fired having a kid die on him. And Maryland was pretty decent then.

The Maryland athletic department has been a long running joke for a while now. Aside from firing Friedgen and bringing in Edsall, the people had no clue how to run an athletic department. They had to bolt the ACC to take the money of the B1G because they were losing money out the ass.

I remember that. They were several million in the red IIRC.

The sad saga continues. Since Len Bias, Maryland has been the worst administration in all of college athletics.
They are still the worst today, and its not close.

They were the only Power 5 school who left entirely for money.
Everyone else had cultural fits, league stability, academics, or other legitimate reasons.
Md was a 75 year charter member of a stable prestigious league with great rivals, money, and academics.

But, Maryland totally fucked everything up so bad financially, they were forced to prostitute themselves.
The Big 10 was smart, they bent Md over.

Those same people survived their own stupidity and incompetence, while spinning a TALL TALE about Big 10 greatness solving everything. Four years later, the finances are worse. The premier programs are in shambles. Rivalries dont exist in front of half empty arenas.

And they will now likely survive student deaths in a physically unsafe toxic environment.
Throw Durkin under the bus, and they will stay employed forever.

They need to fire the whole staff and slap a manslaughter charge on all of them.

What an earth shattering expose by Jeremy Schaap and Bob Ley? They have about as much authority as the ACLU

They should have fired him sooner because they had a coach who really wanted that job on staff but left because he didn’t have a chance. James Franklin
