This market will resolve to “Yes” if Mike Locksley ceases to be the head football coach at the University of Maryland for any length of time between market creation and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. An announcement of Mike Locksley’s resignation or firing before the market’s end date will immediately resolve this market to “Yes”, regardless of when the announced resignation or firing goes into effect. This market’s primary resolution source will be official information from the University of Maryland and/or Mike Locksley; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Maryland athletic director Jim Smith publicly confirmed in November 2025 that Mike Locksley would return for the 2026 season, backed by an amended contract and a commitment to significantly expand NIL resources for roster retention and recruiting. Locksley enters his eighth year in College Park after back-to-back 4-8 campaigns, with the program ranked around No. 52 in preseason polls and facing a tough Big Ten schedule. Recent roster developments include a season-ending injury to defensive end Zahir Mathis and additions in the secondary, but no official indications of a coaching change have emerged as fall camp and media days proceed. Trader consensus at 62.3% for “No” reflects the institutional support and absence of hot-seat signals heading into the season opener.
