non CUSA related but college football related
**sarcasm somewhat intended...if need be move to spin room**
is college football going to be:
a - played
b - cancelled due to covid
c - cancelled due to player's not agreeing with their coach's own thoughts/opinions...(first it was the FSU player(s) and now this from Oklahoma St

Oklahoma State running back Chuba Hubbard is not happy with Mike Gundy, his head coach.
Earlier Monday, a photo circulated on Twitter showing Gundy wearing a T-shirt with a One American News logo on it. OAN is known for pushing far-right conspiracy theories and being unabashedly supportive of President Donald Trump.
Hubbard, who is coming off a 2,000-yard rushing season but opted to return to Oklahoma State instead of leaving for the NFL, voiced his displeasure with his coach on Twitter and said he would not be doing “anything with Oklahoma State until things change.”
I will not stand for this.. This is completely insensitive to everything going on in society, and it’s unacceptable. I will not be doing anything with Oklahoma State until things CHANGE.
Gundy previously said he was a fan of OAN back in April during a 20-minute opening statement of a teleconference with reporters. In that teleconference, Gundy criticized the mainstream media for being negative about the coronavirus and said the coverage from OAN was “refreshing” because it was “unbiased.”
“It was so refreshing. They just report the news. There’s no commentary. There’s no opinions. There’s no left. There’s no right,” Gundy said.
During that teleconference, Gundy said he wanted his players and coaches back on campus by May 1, seemingly in defiance of the guidelines laid out by local medical authorities. He said he wanted players to return as soon as possible because they are healthy and able to fight off the virus.
Gundy also said the players’ returning to football can help “run money through the state of Oklahoma.”

Seems like he would want to be more tolerant and accepting of a T-shirt with a different "voice".

Not sure which one you are referring to to, but...
Peace in the valley
from the article..... Hubbard apologized for airing his grievance online instead of going straight to his coach. The pair shook hands and gave each other a half-hug at the conclusion of the video.
Personally, glad to see Hubbard do what he did this time around as I felt like that's what he should've done to begin with.
