Yeah well, the thing is, the players themselves said it. They complained that the coaching staff basically ignored them and made no good faith effort to coach them. Instead, the new staff and the kids they brought with them formed a clique and froze everyone else out.Bullied and hazed….really? Where’s that article….never saw or heard about that, heck with all the hoopla surrounding Deion, if there was “bullying and hazing” happening, I’m sure it would’ve made national news and his contract likely terminated immediately.
Now, did he essentially tell players that they were no longer on the team….yes…..however the young
Men still had their scholarships so the education piece is 100% intact.
What gets lost in all of this, is that it is a privilege to play D1 Power 5 football. Deion did what’s being everywhere else in P5 football offices….he just did more of it and he’s loud about it.
As a Canes fan regarding NIL, you’ll relate to this: Deion is John Ruiz and 98% of other P5 coaches are our silent NIL contributors. Ppl begin to dislike Ruiz because of how “in your face” he was about UMs NIL game. Had Prime just sat back and moved in silence and did exactly the same thing as he did, there wouldn’t be a discussion about it.
There was superficial reporting on it, but do u really expect the same sycophantic media that deleriously celebrated a 3 OT win over a 21 pt dog like CSU to actually criticize Deion in any meaningful way?
