In case anyone missed it, this is not just fans parsing exit announcements. On the pay board, Rivals, there has been reporting on the situation. It is not made up. It does not rely on what is on Instagram. AlwaysRight does seem to have an agenda, which is ok. People can certainly have an agenda and post what they like. AlwaysRight is not in this case right, however. This is not just smoke. There is fire. Players are indeed leaving in large part due to what they perceive as a toxic, not positive, however you want to say it, environment created by Kate and some on staff (not sure how many or who).
I'm sure not winning as much as expected plays some role, as does the money, although reporting on TOS suggests Stanford had enough money to keep players. We all saw evidence of bad coaching, which now we know was also an unhappy team environment. It showed in their play in the last half of the season. What we now know explains a lot of what we were seeing. It all makes sense.
