Former Players Reveal Allegations of Toxic Culture Under P.J. Fleck

I am going to need all you guys to stand up and clap for 2 minutes every morning when I log into CF








or there will be hell to pay.

We'll stand up and clap if you bring India Summer in with you.

That's half the conference with issues of some sort within the AD over the last 10-15 years.

I mean even Baylor is embarrassed for them at this point.

From how I interpreted that, I think he had a merit based system where you'd essentially get Chuck-E-Cheese tokens (100% with his face on them), or like Schrute Bucks from The Office, and you'd then be able to use them to bypass having to take a university drug test.

Now, I know for a fact that university drug tests are SO easy to get out of, especially if you're a high profile player and you're in somewhat good graces with the staff. If it's Big 12 administered though, you're screwed if you are trying to get out of it. Then you have the NCAA ones that happen at their events where you'll literally have a rep pop into the locker room after a game for pee in a cup time.

I would think that would be fireable offense, the rest is just...awkward?

Chizik was a trendsetter.

I'd give you a formal bow tomorrow night, but then you would have to help me back upright.

I will admit...this quote made me shake my head and chuckle....also thought they buried the lede.....

Dan Nichol, Minnesota’s head football strength and conditioning coach who followed Fleck over from Western Michigan and interned at Iowa under disgraced strength coach Chris Doyle, gathered the team together after Fleck was hired, one of the former players said. The instruction was simple: Clap whenever Fleck entered the locker room.

Does Hell pay with bitcoin? NIL? I've always wondered how that works.

PJ Fleck and the Flecktones

The instruction was simple: Clap whenever Fleck entered the locker room.

“We had to [practice giving Fleck ovations] multiple times — the first time, because some other people in the back were not moving as quick as he wanted,” a third player told FOS.


Two other former players said that Fleck would reenter a room if he didn’t like the ovation he received.


WTF?

Seems like a fun guy to be around

Gopherhole seems to think it is a big nothing burger right now.

Always thought that name sounded like a porn site.

How many players from previous coaching staff that was in disarray?

I read it to mean that they took the tests, but the (trivial) consequences for a first-time failure were ignored if you had a good balance of FleckCoin.
