LOL crazy that no other teams have social media or NIL stuff. "This thing that is happening to everyone is only hurting me" is my favorite. Like my buddy who blames the rain we both played in if he loses at golf.

Re: PLAYERS AND SOCIAL MEDIA a pure distraction
I hated when the players did the whole social justice stuff. I hate a lot of the social media stuff we see these days. It all seems like a distraction.
But like some other posters have hinted at or expressly stated, NDSU has had much more serious problems in the past without people really getting worked up.
I went to school from 2010-15, sorta the pinnacle of NDSU success. Football players were doing all sorts of things back then, some good, some bad.
None of it mattered, because they showed up and kicked ass on Saturdays. The only reason anyone cares about what the kids are up to now is because the team isn't as good.
Disclaimer: this is not to suggest the Bohl teams were thugs or something. The point is just that some unsavory behavior gets overlooked by fans when the team is dominant.

Bohl also got a handle on it and players left the team.

When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.
It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

Correct! Did Sigers? really leave the team to be a rapper? Or was there something else going on there?

Re: PLAYERS AND SOCIAL MEDIA a pure distraction
What exactly do you want? Example: If Trey Lance had not gone to the NFL, would you want him kicked off the team?
It seems like you want the coaching staff to enforce a political speech code on players' social media where anything you like is fine but anything you don't is not.
If you are comparing being concerned about justice to committing crimes, then that is a whole other level of PC/Cancel Culture crazy. Universities (and university athletics) exist in part to create leaders. How can you tell students not to participate in the world around them and try to make change?

There I have to agree with you. No "mass exodus". Seems some people are just trying to stir things up from last spring. Didn't bother me a bit.
