If I were a Terp season ticket holder I would drop my tickets until they fired the whole staff. And I would try to get others to do the same. These guys should go to jail.

Rutgers was still in the Big East when Rice was their head BB coach.

They agreed to add Rutgers in November 2012, a month before Rice's first suspension for abusing his players.

Schools start early in Arizona
and football practices were going on in last weeks 110 degree temps.
(The high will be only a very pleasant 100 today) Football practice is normally at night and it get dark earlier here with no DST. thank god.
You would think kids would drop like flies but it rarely happens.
As desert residents kids are trained early on hydration , every little kid carries big bottles or multiple bottles of water to school daily.
In fact there is a law on the books that makes it an offense to refuse water to anyone who asks. Most Banks hand out bottled water to customers or anyone who asks.
The people who die out here are typically tourists carrying too little water or drank cola, alcohol or even coffee before hiking. All increase dehydration.

I went to Tuscon last February for a Dude ranch vacation. With both of my kids into baseball, I noted that all of the baseball fields we went by have lights for obvious reasons. That said, the local can handle the heat; but, the cold is an entirely different monster. The week I was there, it did not get above 70, couldn't drive up Mt. Lemmon as there was 2 feet of snow on the road in the higher elevations, and it was close to freezing my final night their after driving back to Phoenix to fly home. Folks were dropping like flies (then again, most homes in AZ don't have heat).

You would think his commitment to investigating the player's death might have started a little sooner...........not after ESPN outed the program for failure to properly manage their players' health and welfare.

Muschamp decrying "annonymous sources" in the context of a dead 22 year old kid is a moral & ethical disgrace. A player died. He is not anonymous. God I hate the NCAA, the NCAA money, the culture that explosion of NCAA money has created. I need to take a shower.

Agreed but the NCAA does what the members demand. It’s Maryland at fault here.

Dodd: Eight years of Big Ten scandals paint unflattering picture, but connecting dots may be unfair

>>It must be acknowledged that arguably the nation's richest conference is going through one of its roughest off-field patches. Since 2011 -- the year the Jerry Sandusky scandal broke at Penn State -- to the current Maryland investigation, there have been at least 16 high-profile instances of alleged wrongdoing in Big Ten athletic departments involving 11 of the conference's 14 schools.

In that span, four football coaches were fired for issues unrelated to winning football games. Two more might join that group soon in Ohio State's Urban Meyer and Maryland's DJ Durkin.<<

What a scummy conference. But that won't prevent ESPN this fall from portraying the Big 10 as the paragon of college athletics.

It's so nauseating.

Or us graciously accepting an invite, if it was offered.

Actually the article lays out precisely why he should be charged and then concludes because a jury didn’t convict in a similar case, no charges would be levied. A good DA interested in stopping this insanity convenes a grand jury to at least get a potential indictment.

How does that tarnish the Big 10's image? You just proved my point.

There are plenty of other things that have tarnished their image. You don't have to go reaching for false ones.

I guess some credit to Loh for the personal apology.

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

I doubt they do anything but deflect.

President Wallace D. Loh says Maryland accepts legal and moral responsibility for mistakes the training staff made that led to Jordan McNair’s death.

Thus far, Maryland's avoided laying blame at DJ Durkin’s feet. However, the statement by Maryland's president certainly suggests the school accepts moral, legal, and extremely likely financial responsibility for Jordan McNair's death.

Now, will Maryland fire or force Durkin and other football coaches, strength coaches, or other Maryland athletic department employees to resign? Or, try to skate by with the head strength coach's firing/resignation.

SMH:

Yeah that’s the opposite of Loh. He’ll be training folks at Planet Fitness if he lucky.

Only because it’s a no judgment zone...

Some, but...
Loh: "Based on what we know at this time ... I said to the family, the university owes you an apology. You entrusted Jordan to our care and he is never returning home again." ...comes off as little cool and remote. Hopefully he was more sincere and expressive with them.

 

[Stinger92860]

I never expected them to accept any blame. This opens them up to significant law suit.

I just watched the clip, Loh appeared very sincere in the presser. I’m glad he accepted responsibility. It’s so common for universities to deny and deflect, Loh did none of that.
