The lurid Ohio State saga is the most interesting college football scandal going. But the horrific Maryland story is the most important college football scandal going.
In the wake of the death of Terrapin player Jordan McNair, ESPN published a report about the abusive culture of Maryland football. How players were treated poorly in workout conditions. So far, Maryland’s investigation has led to the suspension of coach D.J. Durkin and the removal of strength/conditioning coach Rick Court.
But it also sends chills through every college football program. Those that are doing things properly, and those that are not.
