It seems the players might be accepting losing as much as the fans and university, maybe even more?

This seems valid to some extent (Harbaugh was said to have "changed the (losing) culture" when he arrived). But there's  larger truth that must be addressed: a perennial losing team, dwindling attendance (and revenue) and irrelevance are NOT sustainable. This is screaming for repair. The program needs to be remade. At this moment it's in, shall we say, disrepair. Put bluntly, the Ferrari is now a golf cart with a dead battery.
