Following the 12-5 vote, the football stadium will be known as “Maryland Stadium,” which takes effect immediately, according to the announcement.
Loh created the Byrd Stadium Naming Work Group in September, in response to petitions from students requesting that the "Byrd" name be replaced because the school's former president, whom it honors, supported racial segregation. The students, alumni, faculty and staff who composed the group provided Loh with “a thoughtful and balanced assessment of possible options,” the announcement said, in the form of two reports.

I'd like to know how much money is being wasted on this.
Look out Washington state and Washington, DC - You're next.
We certainly can't honor the Father of Our Country if he owned a slave at one time.
I plan to disent by no longer giving them money.
Scratch that school off the list.
Ho, Ho. Ho, Harry Byrd

Makes no sense -- condemning someone in this way now for being normal then.
coming from a self imposed racially segregated college..
I will NEVER support UM financially or in any other way ever again.
Send your $s to Washington and Lee University in Virginia.
Native Crisfielder Curley must be rolling in his grave to see how PC we are now.What a disappointment.It will always be Byrd Stadium to me.
You support UM every time you pay a sales tax, buy a lottery ticket or pay state taxes on April 15th, unless you are one of the the people that get tax credits for x amount of children. BTW, I know many " hardcore republicans" that get child tax credits but will condemn those with an EBT card.

AW... Some misguided Democrat got his panties in a twist. Child tax credits are the law you moron and there is no comparison to an EBT Card. If it makes you feel better when you use your EBT card then go for it. HeHe! You must be getting that free Comcast internet and trolling on Joe's Blog... LMFAO
Sounds like somebody has a bunch of kids and better hurry up and get to their non skilled job.
