The major issues have been resolved in negotiations between the University of Maryland and Lefty Driesell, with only details to be worked out before Driesell steps down as basketball coach.

The Washington Post reported that Driesell will earn more than $1 million over nine years if he accepts a deal to resign and become an assistant athletic director.

The Baltimore Sun reported that Driesell asked last week to meet with the university’s governing board in an attempt to defend his performance, but his request was turned down.
