Whatever was happening Monday on social media between Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy and a growing cadre of players wasn’t about a T-shirt.
When the floodgates opened on him with a tweet from his best player Chuba Hubbard to vague accusations from others about change being needed in Stillwater, you can be sure that a picture of Gundy out on the lake last week repping OAN — that’s One America News, which we’ll get to in a second — was only the symptom of their displeasure and not the disease.
But whatever happens from here in this brave new world of college athlete empowerment, a profound shift is occurring under the feet of every coach who has been cavalier about the issues their players care about most.
