USM Board of Regents to take control of both Maryland football investigations

The University System of Maryland’s Board of Regents voted unanimously Friday to assume authority and control over both investigations into Maryland football, it announced in a statement.

This comes after a special four-hour closed meeting that was believed by many to be centered on the futures of university president Wallace Loh, athletic director Damon Evans and/or head football coach DJ Durkin.

The day after offensive lineman Jordan McNair died, Maryland announced an external review of the football program’s “procedures and protocols involving student-athlete health and safety.” That investigation is being conducted by Walters, Inc.
