Durkin placed on administrative leave....
- Thread starter lionville
- Start date
Post-Sandusky, Delany floated a plan to give the commissioner authority to fire coaches in certain circumstances. Had it happened, would that authority have been used in any of the recent B1G fiascoes?? Just a thought....
And Ohio State gets on their knees in thanks that the news cycle shifted so quickly.
And we thought no handshake was the low point in the maryland football culture.
Strong statement from the AD. Can't see how Durkin keeps his job.
"Dear Terps, I am extremely concerned by the allegations of unacceptable behaviors by members of our football staff detailed in recent media reports. We are committed to fully investigating the program," athletic director Damon Evans said in a statement, in part.
"The external review into the tragic death of Jordan McNair continues, and we have committed to releasing publicly the report being prepared by an independent and national expert. The safety and well-being of our student-athletes is our highest priority. These alleged behaviors are not consistent with the values I expect all of our staff to adhere to and we must do better. You will be hearing from me as our work continues to rebuild the culture of respect in our football program."

edsall was the head coach. Was durkin on edsall’s staff?
Guess there was reason Delany never practiced law.
No; happened in 2014

'Disrespectful' handshake steals spotlight in Maryland-Penn State game
It's a message that coach James Franklin said he has never seen in 20 years of coaching.
“They decided to start the game that way," Franklin said. "That’s their prerogative.”
Maryland head coach Randy Edsall apologized after the game, saying "that's not how we are."

My bad, it was Edsall you're correct. Seems like a mole hill now doesn't it, compared to what their own coaches are doing to their own players.
Apparently it's the high point.

They should be. This commissioner has said and done nothing in the wake of all these scandals. He should be fired for cowardice.
Jim Delaney what say you?
MSU - crickets
OSU 1 - crickets
OSU 2 - crickets
UM - crickets
UMD - crickets.
Penn State wins the Big Ten Championship in 2016 in Indianapolis. crickets.
But he’s making us money. Isn’t that the most important thing
Is he though? Right now, one of the largest cable providers has removed the network from their offerings, and isn’t planning on bringing it back, unless Delaney gets off his high horse. Don’t you think Comcast will be using these scandals to keep their offer low?
I hate us.
Seriously, despite all of the actual scandals at b1g schools in recent years, and the bombshells that have come out this year alone, Penn State is still seen as the epitome of a sports-fueled culture problem. It is disgusting to be viewed that way because Penn State has actually epitomized Success With Honor uninterrupted for decades.
(I know. Thank you erickson and the bot.)
I posted this in the other thread, but you guys have been the most supportive of us out of all the BIG schools. I guess we both know how it feels to be slammed by ESPN.
You guys obviously more so

And Delany. To date, he's said f*** all about anything since collecting blood money from PSU.

Yeah but let’s forget our hatred for everything associated with Pitt....Orgeron is s moron.
I have come to the conclusion that Delaney and the BIG have a singular dislike for PSU.
Not a word either from that smug faced scumbag in Indy

He did cancel a long planned appearance at the ABA after all this broke. What a turd - I know Art will tell me it's up to the university chowderheads to hold him accountable, but I'd be happy to see at least one reporter from somewhere reputable play a game of 'Where's Jimbo?'....
By singular dislike you must mean an irrational hatred and outright animosity for twenty five years.
You really think Comcast is going to factor these issues into their business decisions?
Was this a serious post?
I don't mean Delaney. I'm talking about the POS Emmert
This isn't like the Urban Meyer administrative leave. This is to figure out how much Maryland owes Durkin when they fire him.
The combination of McNair's death and now the ESPN reports of bulling, abuse and clearly incompetent training practices that led to McNair dying...It's a no brainer, it's going to blow up as a huge nationwide story this week. Durkin has to go and they really had to move fast because the damage is going to be huge.
Really it's a black eye for the whole Big Ten.
And it won't help Meyer's case any -- even though Meyer's offenses are a different sort.
Any association of football coach and abuse -- of players, of spouses, of children -- the Big Ten just can't afford any more of it.

Multi-scandals within the B1G could lead to some unfortunate collateral damage, eh, Mr. Delany?
He has exhibited consistently poor judgment. He is a liability to the conference members.
Yeah, something along those lines.
Maybe they see PSU as the start of a process that changed the status quo of their conference.
Any illusion of "the shoe is on the other foot", should be thrown out the window now, never to return: Nobody, in this sport, has had to suffer the level of unfairness and inequity, than Penn State has, from not just the NCAA, but the Big Ten, the nation at large, and it's own administration.
Michigan State's Nassar scandal, Michigan's shoe investigation, Maryland's bullying coaches, Ohio State's wrestling program and current Urban Meyer temporary suspension....all of them added up, don't come close to what the average PSU fan has gone through.
