Maryland's Locksley Faces $9.2M Buyout After UCLA Blowout

Maryland head coach Mike Locksley's job security is in question after the Terrapins suffered a 54-3 blowout loss to UCLA, their most lopsided defeat under his tenure. The loss dropped Maryland to 2-2 on the season, continuing a trend of underperformance with the program not winning more than eight games in any season over the past 20 years. afsport.lat

According to USA TODAY, Maryland would owe Locksley $9.2 million if he's fired during this calendar year. His contract, which runs through 2028 with automatic extensions, pays him $6.4 million this season. Tensions continue to build, with Maryland Athletics recently cutting off follow-up questions from reporters regarding his job security.
