The University System of Maryland Board of Regents seized control "over all aspects" of the investigations into the death of Jordan McNair, the 19-year-old football player who collapsed during a team workout in May, and the culture within the football program under suspended football coach DJ Durkin.

Both investigations had been led by the University of Maryland before the board of regents voted in an special meeting Friday to take them over.
