DJ Durkin sits on leave as Maryland football’s season presses on. Over a month after university president Wallace Loh announced he’d opened a school investigation into the Maryland football program and four months after Jordan McNair collapsed following a team workout, that investigation continues.
The University System of Maryland Board of Regents announced days after Loh formed the commission to investigate the allegations of player mistreatment laid out by ESPN’s Heather Dinich, Adam Rittenberg and Tom VanHaaren that it had decided to take over responsibility for that investigation as well as the investigation by Rod Walters into Maryland’s training and conditioning protocols.
