Perhaps the most damning piece of information from McMurphy's report is an exchange between Courtney and Lindsey Voltolini in the weeks following the 2015 incident. Lindsey's husband Brian Voltolini is "considered one of Meyer's most loyal staff members," according to McMurphy.
Courtney: "[Zach's] trying to make me look crazy bc that's what Shelley is saying [he's doing]"
Lindsey: "[Urban] just said [Zach] denied everything"
Courtney: "I hope urban is smarter than that"
Lindsey: "[Urban] doesn't know what to think"
Courtney: "I don't really care. Ya know"
Lindsey: "Yeah, don't worry about urb"
More here and at Brett McMurphy's Facebook page. On a related note, Brett will be working for Stadium this fall, so good for him. He's one of the best in the business as this news shows.
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE
Several current University of Maryland football players and people close to the Terrapins program describe a toxic coaching culture under head coach DJ Durkin before offensive lineman Jordan McNair's death in June after a football workout.
McNair, who was 19, died two weeks after being hospitalized following a May 29 team workout. He collapsed after running 110-yard sprints, showing signs of extreme exhaustion and difficulty standing upright. No official cause of death has been released, but ESPN reported Friday that he died of heatstroke suffered during the workout and had a body temperature of 106 degrees after being taken to a hospital.

So, the B1G East is a cluster. This thread will serve as a bit more serious transition until the first real Thursday of games August 30. Schedule for "week 0" and 1 is here. Annual conference/playoff winners pick'em will be up within the next week, and whenever the AP bothers to release the preseason top 25 it will be added as well.
Bill Connelly's 130 team previews are here, and well worth the read.
