Former Ohio State linebacker K’Vaughan Pope is the latest player to sound off on his issues with the program.
Twitter was set on fire over the weekend when Marcus Williamson claimed a photo of Trayvon Martin was used to justify banning hoodies, which Urban Meyer denied ever happened. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)
My first team meeting. (True story 2017) This photo was presented to us via PowerPoint to institute our building wide rule of “no hoods” in the building pic.twitter.com/bGdJVZaEVT

Pope, who quit the team in infamous fashion, is joining in and tweeted several issues Monday night with the way the Buckeyes are run.
I think K’Vaughan Pope just quit the team in the middle of the game.

He claimed players are “highly disrespected by the coaching staff” and “treated unfairly” because younger members of the team sometimes play ahead of the older guys.
You only go to OSU if you want to be:
– highly disrespected by the coaching staff (head coach here & there)
– treated unfairly (young guys playing before seniors)
– looked at as a hoodlum (because your vocal)
– treated as if you are not a high caliber player (because i am)— K’Vaughan Pope (@VonP04) January 4, 2022
– coaches first program guy (they are not a players first program)
– treated as if players opinions have no say so (because your body & mental doesn’t matter)
– players point of view can’t be seen (because coaches claim it has happened to them)— K’Vaughan Pope (@VonP04) January 4, 2022
These have to be the most pathetic allegations I’ve ever seen. Oh, the coaches didn’t listen to some players and the best guys got to play no matter their age?
What a horrible coaching job from Ryan Day and company! I can’t believe upperclassmen who weren’t good enough didn’t get on the field!
He has now been told to leave the Ohio State sideline and C.J. Barnett is taking him to the locker room. This is absolutely wild.

Let’s not forget that Pope literally dropped the f-bomb against his own team after quitting during a game.
So, you’ll have to understand if I don’t take his complaints about not playing enough seriously!
Safe to say that K’Vaughan Pope’s career at Ohio State is over. #ohiostatefootball pic.twitter.com/2l5fPuE0zn

While I’m sure there are some players with legit beefs, these tweets from Pope are honestly sad and borderline pathetic.
