According to Jackie MacMullen on ESPN Radio, they basically were promised a lot of things in order to agree to the trip but then keep getting nickled and dimed and the stipend was supposedly promised to them too.

Yeah, I heard about the family members thing - if I were going on this trip, I'd want my family there, too.

Apparently the cops have showed up now. The players are still having a meeting right now. (I'm tempted to put my money on Jed being forced to write some political document for them, but that'd be a bit of a stretch.)

Apparently the players are on the field now, according to the Herald, so I'm going to hope that something was just worked out...
