On Tuesday, University of Maryland's decision to reinstate football head coach D.J. Durkin was met with criticism by much of the sports world.
Durkin was placed on administrative leave in August following the death of 19-year-old offensive lineman Jordan McNair, who suffered from heat stroke during a June practice.

Durkin received criticism and support from members and family members of the football team.
