USM Board Of Regents Releases Report Into UMD's Football Program After McNair's Death

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (WJZ) -- The University System of Maryland Board of Regent has released the full report compiled by the eight-member commission investigating the culture of University of Maryland football program following the death of Jordan McNair.

The university's football program has been under scrutiny since the death of 19-year-old Jordan McNair back in June.

This investigation was prompted by explosive reports that described coaches as demeaning and intimidating.

The nearly 200-page report finds the program's culture did not cause McNair's death, but problems festered within the program because too many players feared speaking out.
