This report is a bit confusing to me, as I don't know if what was considered at Maryland but apparently rejected by Loh is in any way unusual:
Quote:In a memo to Loh in May 2017, then-athletic director Kevin Anderson outlined changes he wanted to make to the school's health care of athletes, the Post reported. Among the stipulations was that athletic trainers should report to the University of Maryland Medical School, housed at the University of Maryland, Baltimore, rather than be employed by this university.
Outside physicians currently supervise the university's athletic training staff, but those trainers are employed by the athletic department. While the NCAA doesn't regulate this organizational structure, it does suggest schools maintain autonomy between the athletic department and medical personnel, which the proposed changes would have established.
Loh rejected the proposal because he wanted the school to still be able to make medical personnel decisions, according to the Post.
