Overview
- Multiple outlets report that Locksley will debut Friday on BTN’s The B1G Show and also appear on the network’s Saturday slate, including B1G Countdown to Kickoff before Maryland’s game.
- Locksley is scheduled to work BTN weekends through the conference title game on Dec. 5 and could also surface during College Football Playoff coverage, according to Sports Business Journal reporting repeated by other outlets.
- The hire follows Maryland’s Oct. 21 decision to part ways with Locksley after multiple losing Big Ten seasons and the university naming Aazaar Abdul‑Rahim interim coach.
- Locksley told ESPN he does not necessarily expect to return as a college head coach and is open to NFL or coordinator roles while remaining represented by CAA agent Ed Marynowitz.
- The move fits a growing BTN pattern of giving recently departed or interim coaches short‑term studio roles that provide visibility while they weigh their next career steps and affect how programs and candidates approach midseason searches.
