If this is the players' view, maybe this is all making more sense now.
We don’t have the money for what the players want🤷🏾♂️ They had the money to fire the coach...so I'm pretty sure they can find the money... |

What if what they are wanting has a price tag of $2M annually Remember whatever they do for football has to be done for the other 16 sports |

Aggie2039, why are you working so hard to defend the status quo? This is starting to feel like when Trump was constantly going out his way to defend Putin.
What do Earl Hilton and Chancellor Martin have on you to make you defend this incompetence?
Are you being blackmailed?
Blink two times if you need me to contact the proper authorities.

Personally, from what KP's post says, a meeting with Hilton doesn't cost a thing. They are asking for someone to pay attention...and then act. |

I don’t like open ended statements that have zero substance, especially on social media where people take everything as gospel and run with it. Someone says our demands aren’t being met and we run with versus doing research to see if it is a legit reason for concern or just complaining. |

But why would you not give the players the benefit of the doubt in this situation, when it is obviously more than just a couple of malcontents? Why is you first instinct to think the players are lying and to defend Earl? |

Why is you first instinct to think the players are lying and to defend Earl? I didn’t say they were lying, my point is why go on social media and say our needs aren’t being met then don’t say what the needs are. There is a major difference between a need and a want. The question is what “needs” are not being met which after a lot of conversation no one has answered. How can alums assist when that question is not being answered. My gut instinct is that these wants or needs are not quick, easy or cheap. |

Let’s be real. We all know that our athletic department is underfunded, e.g, our lengthy discussion about the brown grass and the lack of paint in the stands in the stadium. Our Chancellor has stated that we need to upgrade in salaries, facilities etc to be competitive in the CAA. So it’s totally believable that the wants and maybe the needs of our student athletes are not being met. What concerns me about the post is that it alleged that the athletes are not able to express their wants and needs to the administration. That’s a real problem.

I see LOTS of assumptions, definitives, etc. on here (this IS the case, that IS the case, etc.) and it's DISGUSTING. #Smh #Shameful |

I thought that we didn't know what the players want. How can we not afford it when some are saying that we don't even know what we need to get them?
