Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy went off on college football's modern ease of transferring during his press conference on Monday with a monologue that touched on topics such as "liberalism" and "snowflakes" to express his discontent toward the trend.

According to The Oklahoman's Nathan Ruiz, Gundy ripped the rate of college transfers. Gundy's comments come one day after safety Thabo Mwaniki announced his decision to leave Oklahoma State.

“I think we live in a world where people are non-committal," Gundy said. "We allow liberalism to say, ‘Hey, I can just do what I want and I don’t have to really be tough and fight through it.’ You see that with young people because it’s an option they’re given. We weren’t given that option when we were growing up. We were told what to do, we did it the right way, or you go figure it out on your own."

On June 13, the NCAA introduced legislation that allowed for athletes to transfer programs without seeking permission from their current schools. Schools cannot block the transfers or dictate where the athletes go. The new rules went into effect in October.

Gundy also used several buzzwords used in analyzing 18- to 22-year-olds when asked about the concept.

"In the world today, there’s a lot of entitlement," Gundy added. "I’m a firm believer in the snowflake. I think it’s setting there. And I’m not talking about Thabo. Thabo and I have had multiple good talks. I’m talking about every millennial young person. Generation Z, I think is what they call ’em. It’s the world we live in because if they say, ‘Well, it’s a little bit hard,’ we say, ‘O.K., well, let’s go try something else.’ vs. ‘Hey, let’s bear down and let’s fight and do this.’ So you see a lot of that nowadays, and that doesn’t have anything to do with Thabo or [Jalen] McCleskey or anybody that’s been on the portal here."

Gundy said his comments were not a reflection of politics, but rather the "facts of life, the world we live in today."

Oklahoma State fell to 5–5 after a last-second loss to Oklahoma on Saturday. The Cowboys will host West Virginia on Nov. 17 at 3:30 p.m. ET.

If he got offered another job he could take it with no type of penalty.

The fact that a kid wanting to do the same thing has to sit out a year was ridiculous

Its amazing how these clowns embrace communist tendencies of forced labor when it benefits them.

The irony is that conservatives are the biggest snowflakes.

Football culture is military culture

Football culture is conservative culture

What he said is dumb as shyt and inaccurate but it will cost him nothing.

I don't know if their is anything more racist and entitled than a white college football coach...

Dudes build generational wealth off the back of black athletes who officially make 0 dollars to play...

 

[Paper Boi]

college football coaches are as slavemasterish as they come.

He been going on this faux outraged rant for a few weeks now. Last week he was blaming unemployed, welfare recipients for all the Twitter outrage. He's a fukkin clown

 

[Sauce Dab]

He's mad because there's a few of his guys that are transferring away from his program especially his best WR decided to leave him too. So he's had this built up for awhile :Cacpls2:

"We need to keep politics out of sports "

Proceed to wear military camo inspired uniforms while bytching about "liberal snowflakes."

Well, if Mike Gundy thinks liberals are quitters - then I guess I'll just have to call Oklahoma State University every day to remind them of how tenacious we can be.
