[QUOTE="IlliniKat91, post: 1640863, member: 9133"] Winning will make someone look the other way. It's easy to fall into, "This sucks, but it's working and worth it." People do it for bad jobs with good salaries all the time. But when the winning stops (or the salary is no longer worth the hassle), all bets are off. Players play in the system and culture, the coach creates it. Kids coming in at 18 and 19 don't know how to necessarily advocate for themselves (and may not think they need to if they're winning). It may have taken them that much time to develop the skills to speak up. That doesn't happen over night. TL;DR: I doubt there's anything nefarious in the timing of this. This happened before the NCAA tourney and the players did it as a way to try to spark positive change from what they've told the media. [/QUOTE]
