Thanx,well I agree if an "anonymous" source is sullying your rep - unfairly I might add well then have the nuts to stand up and be recognized.Or the reporter can add that it is one mans opinion and not an established fact

an "anonymous" source is very weak

but, I thought there were more than a few sources that had names attached.  Why not focus on them?

attacking an anonymous source is weak if there are credible sources out there

Well true FF but are those credible sources anonymous?Not saying anonymity means bogus just smacks of less conviction.If your going to tar & feather someone in public have the cajones to attach your name if the point is valid & important.

That’s an interesting question right there. 
If you put your name on it, there’s a good chance you’re headed for a career change. Maybe that’s worth it. I’m sure that kind of thing prevents plenty of truth from being out there.

a career change shouldn't be needed if the charges you are reporting are correct

If it's someone from inside the Maryland program and they feel that way, they probably need to get out. 

there are enough good young & old head coaches out there that wouldn't allow that crap in their program

yes, this does prevent some people from speaking up, but those folks are weak and don't have the conviction to stand up for what's right.

In my book, a credible source is one with a name.  yes, I understand there are good and bad sources out there with and w/o names.  In a court of law, are anonymous sources allowed as testimony?

They do need to get out of Maryland. But college sports are by nature secretive, and revealing wrongdoing still violates that secrecy. And that might mean not working in that field again. And if you like working in that field, you might not want to stop.
If that makes a person weak, then most people are weak. 
I think back to a transfer a few years ago. UW was convinced Iowa tampered. UW wouldn’t actually say it. Bo wouldn’t say it. He’d make the kid pay his own way, but he, who was as secure as one could be, wouldn’t even say it.

Well, now there's apparently 2 Stanford players saying both Durkin and Harbaugh are terrible coaches. 

The family won't settle until Durkin is fired.

They've gone on a world tour of sorts trying to destroy the program, even though parents and current students still say this is a BS claim and are in Durkin's corner.

Some Marylanders believe Alvarez may be the last person referenced in Loh's press conference.

A new commission made to investigate this "toxic culture" claim.

U.of Maryland President took responsibility for the player’s death and seemed to indicate it was a training and medical staff issue where they failed to follow proceedure.  The football program toxic culture was a different issue and is being investigated separately.  IMO Durkin is done given today’s environment.

I just read an article that said Maryland will fire Durkin, his AD and the university president.

That's a lot of fire, if true.
