This is going to be a take nobody likes, but this entire situation in the NCAA is the manifestation of entitlement come full circle.
You’re the best, so many followers, what school you picking? Sweet InstaChat.
This entire generation of players, who grew up never outside of the public eye / instant gratification social media driven paradigm, now have a free pass to take any minor grievance they’ve had and move on. There’s no opportunity to build character through adversity or struggle, because there’s no penalty in quitting and leaving.
And it’s completely unsustainable for the system the way it’s currently set up. AAU Ball everywhere.
And it started with picking hats and “The Decision”.
Brave new world we’re entering. And if you embrace the player’s having this power, then you’ve got to embrace what comes with it. And this, well, this is what comes with it.
