University System of Maryland regents meeting about Maryland's football culture in wake of Jordan McNair death

The University System of Maryland’s governing body is meeting privately in Baltimore on Tuesday morning to discuss the findings of an independent investigation into the University of Maryland’s football culture.

An eight-person commission was tasked with probing allegations of a toxic culture within the team following the death of 19-year-old offensive lineman Jordan McNair. The former McDonogh standout died after suffering a heatstroke during practice in College Park.

Members of that commission — including former Gov. Bob Ehrlich, former U.S. congressman Tom McMillen and attorney Charlie Scheeler — either sat in or phoned into Tuesday’s meeting.

A thick binder containing the draft repot sat in front of each member of the Board of Regents.
