I got this from an older UM alum:
There have been ongoing issues with some team members dissenting from
the coaching staff about game plans. Some players spoke up in a team
meeting about their concern that Nutt wasn't running an offense that put
them in position to win, but the defense was doing its job. Nutt was
furious and went on a witch hunt, holding individual meetings with
players, reminiscent of the Joseph McCarthy hearings. A couple of
players gave out some names, and as I am told, those are the ones that
are suspended. I've not been a fan of this forward rebels group, but
I'm starting to understand their point of view.
