Yeah, it was on CBS Sports, Bleacher Report, and a few others.  All they do is parrot the memo released by the college.  The angle they seem to be taking is that the roster is small due to injuries.  This is true, but it is a symptom not the cause.  There is no desire to find out why the roster is so small.  Then again, it is a small Division III team, so it won't require an actual story.  However, a writer for the LA Times is an alumnus.  It would be nice if he looked into it deeper.

I appreciated that this article at least gave mention of the lack of administrative support, sub-par equipment, and got quotes regarding this from a player.

Part of a comment post regarding a player calling the AD a name:

Quote@Mary, Hoffman's children were present and also heard it.

Wait...her children were present at a football team meeting where news was being broken to a team that a game was being canceled?

According to this, the AD's spouse was there (why?). Nothing said about children.

The players were sexist.  The players were homophobic.  The players were corrupting minors.  The players smacked a nun.  Did I miss anything?
Is anyone buying the victim routine?

Yikes, these comments are pretty crazy and bring up some pretty large accusations.

Alum17- "This, by the way, comes from a team that last year was the subject of controversy after women were drugged at their house."

Alum17- "Raping women and terrorizing them after they resist and/or report?"

Alum17- "This report is indeed a symptom of Trump-era white supremacy and violent patriarchy."  ::)

"These people need a reality check and to go tutor in local high schools and work in local health clinics. Crying about a cancelled football game or trip to Hawaii pales in comparison to the millions of children who will never get a chance to even attend college.
Yes, perhaps the football team is financially solvent. Who cares if they can't understand their opportunity to attend college within the larger issues of inequality society faces. I hope Oxy football uses this situation to earn their place at this school by way of being not just decent financially unburdened student athletes, but exemplerary socially-conscious ones."


I think the Oxy football players' problem they are voicing is that they have become athletically unburdened student athletes.

The Oxy football situation is sad for these young men....whatever the level of their skills, I am sure they all had a dream to attend a great academic school but also extend their football career on the college level and be part of a team that you will remember for the rest of your life.....well they will really have some lifetime memories now......the administration seems very insincere and obviously has been looking for reasons to eliminate the program.........with a 400MM Endowment, Oxy has the resources to support a team and buy proper equipment....these young men had  the rug pulled....good luck with the title IX complaint...the college will spend hundreds of thousands defending it as it looks like there is some merit to the case
