So this is how things go sideways! Do you really think a man who has become President of two universities went to one practice and made decisions off of that? I am sure observing the practice along with watching the team play, along with the rumors very out in the open about the program dysfunction, etc. caused him to delve deeper into the situation, you know, all that raised concerns that he felt worthy of finding out more before acting?
As for players, I am not presuming anything; I do know that certain players were offered spots on the roster with conditions and chose to hit the portal; obviously, you will think for yourself and make up your own mind. I have what I believe to be credible information gotten through, to steal from Ocean’s 11, the “I know a guy” methodology and shared it but that doesn’t make it so in anyone else‘s eyes.
But you are reading me wrong because I am not singling out any players and in no way am I intimating that any player did anything WRONG necessarily. Conditions could mean a myriad of things from starting, playing time, role on the team, NIL money, etc. IMO, some players chose to do what was best for them, enter the portal, and there is nothing remotely wrong with that. I was merely offering that for those who think ALL players were just let go.
