At 9:00 of the video, I think he refers to Barry Alvarez to sit on a committee to review the Maryland situation.

I hope he has an answer for the other situation going on with Maryland right now.

I may quit watching and supporting Maryland for a long time.

I'm so disgusted right now. So hurt. 

With a history like ours, I expect nothing but integrity, leadership, and being an example of how to do things the right way.

Betrayal only begins to describe my feelings, because news out of there could only get worse.

Well said Hawkinole.  These remarks, made extemporaneously as noted, we're incredibly earnest and conciliatory.  This presents a much more accountable and convincing posture that a lot of institutions (private and public) can learn from.

Dare I say, leadership?  I hope it doesn't end after the press conference.

If I were a U of Maryland graduate, I would be watchful, wait, and be hopeful. The response to this point exceeds what I expected from one of my earlier posts.
I am reminded of when one of the partners in a law firm I was in, had a daughter in a car accident that was her fault and sent one of the elderly persons she hit to the hospital. He was a kind man, and good attorney. He went to the hospital and did what Dr. Loh did here. What he did has tangential benefits. But he did it because it was the right thing to do. I don't think his daughter was sued. Actions like what Dr. Loh did here, mean a lot to those directly affected, if there is follow through. And it should mean something to others in the U of Maryland community, too. Dr. Loh makes a commitment to you and others at 4:20.

Except everyone here seems to forget there's another investigation going on. 

Not related to this.

We remember. That one is going to take a while with how many kids and schools are involved. The FBI doesn't know what a deadline is either.

Late to the conversation as I've been in the ICU the last 4 days with a leg infection.I only caught a little of this subject and thought it sprung from the unfortunate passing of that kid(RIP) at practice.One of the networks - think it was FoxSports1 were interviewing a former player(s).The impression I got from these guys there wasn't anything out of the norm.In other words it wasn't extreme military training designed by Otto Skorzeny or R.Lee Ermy to break the 101st.Can't remember for the life of me who it was though as i was getting pumped full of meds and tired at the time

rolltide.. it always amazes me how many people don't believe it.    ESPNU is basically the SECNetwork's second channel.   Internet is full of examples of ESPN article titles, turning top 5's into top 6 lists, memo's for SEC teams or divisions when you don't memo others.....

again, I'd do the same.  It's their #1 investment in College sports.  Promote it.   Push it.   Again,... It's your #1 investment in College sports.  It would be stupid not to promote it.   But don't pretend it is not happening.

i'm not saying they aren't pushing the sec, i'm saying they aren't doing it at the (directly intended) expense of the b1g, which they also have a massive contract with.
it's not that they don't promote the sec, it's that every time something negative gets discussed about the b1g, the narrative here is that 'esecpn is only focusing on bad b1g stuff to help prop up sec, their cash cow', which is insane. cfb is (one of) their cash cows, with sec and b1g being major players. and they're in bed with both financially.

Eh, it's pretty widely known that Mickey Mouse is still having assburn over Big Jim walking away from negotiations and starting his own thing, with Fox as a partner.

I’ve always thought the biases can become more subtle as well. Not necessarily some grand conspiracy per se. If your network or publication has a contract with a conference, you as a media member will spend a HUGE amount of time covering those teams and coaches. You forge relationships, much like a beat writer. When push comes to shove they naturally will be less critical about their own vs. how they cover others.

i could see that on an individual basis. but it's not some grand conspiracy that espn formed as policy to out the b1g in favor of sec.

for the record, i'm not some espn fanboy. like most of you, only time i watch espn is when a game is on.

They had no choice. They have to stay relevant. Way too many eyeballs in B1G country, not to mention a huge alumni base that is all over the USA and world.
