This is a culture problem
Since you felt compelled to post this, why don't you elaborate and explain what you think said "cultural problem" is...

I’ll help.
College athletics journey to catering to television and corporate dollars that started about 25 years ago has helped lead us here. We went from a sport where pageantry and camaraderie and school pride has descended into another aspect of our world that focuses on selfishness instead.
Where young men used to be looked to as future fellow alumni, now they are, all too often, part-time employees of a machine that are “here to get mines.” From “one team, one heartbeat” to being woke, making sure playing time and self-preservation are the order of the day, and using the system for individualism.
I’m not saying the players are wrong, just that I don’t like what the culture has become.

When I look at the body language on many of these kids, combined with the BLM, Trump, Ryan Clark remarks as well as the number of players who always leave LSU early and now the opt outs, it just appears that something isn't right in the way the coaching staff deals with their players.
Man, I'm far from an expert and I certainly can only see from the outside, but I just feel like something isn't right. I hate to draw comparisons between LSU and Bama, but Saban sure does a good job of getting kids to stay focused and committed, eyes on the prize.
I understand, my opinion doesn't mean anything. Guess I'm just frustrated and looking for answers
