Why did Kevin Anderson leave Maryland? The picture seems clearer now

Kevin Anderson left Maryland football, for all intents and purposes, sometime in October. Exactly when in that month is still not clear, but he never returned from the “sabbatical” Maryland announced that month after reports emerged that Anderson had been fired.

Thanks to new reports from The Diamondback and The Washington Post, we know a lot more about what preceded that firing.

According to the reports:

  • Anderson arranged for $15,000 in athletic department-controlled money to be used for the legal representation of two Maryland football players accused of sexual assault in what appears to be a violation of NCAA bylaws.
