1. Their AD is a clown who runs onto the field to threaten refs during live plays. He then tells the entire world in a press conference that wasn't even for him that they are not happy to be in the conference. What kind of a culture is someone like that creating in the AD?
2. Whitt told everyone he was going to retire, until they crapped their pants, so now he wants to stick around and try to fix his mess. This infuriates Morgan, who thought he was taking over. His micro-managing style caused the OC to quit mid season. So if the coaches are mad at each other, how are the players going to feel?
3. Scam Rising takes the majority of NIL for two years in a row without playing. How is that going to make his teammates feel?
4. The alumni base is anemic and can't even bother showing up to the Huntsman Center to watch a good team play. So how much NIL do you think they've got to give out from this anemic alumni base? How do you think the players feel watching people everywhere else getting paid?
5. Team culture is terrible as their QB was a freshman who stunk, but thought he was good enough to get a bag of money in the portal (and then learned he wasn't). If that's your team leader, how do you think team culture is?
Anyway, this is all stuff that can be documented and is public. And reading those tea leaves it's pretty easy to see the university on the hill is in flames.
