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

Maryland's Mike Locksley would cost the school $9.2 million to buy out his contract after the Terrapins suffered a 54-3 blowout loss to UCLA, dropping them to 2-2 on the season. The defeat marked one of the most lopsided losses of Locksley's tenure as head coach, where he now stands at 38-46 and hasn't led the program to more than eight wins in a season over 20 years.

Locksley is set to make $6.4 million this year, with his contract running through 2028 after automatic extensions were activated following 7-win seasons in 2022 and 2023. Tensions continue to build over his future, as Maryland Athletics recently cut off follow-up questions from reporters regarding his job security. amunra.qpon
