Why Doesn’t Anyone Like RichRod?

SB Nation blog Maize n Brew breaks down the news surrounding the alleged violations at Michigan. The big question on their minds - and everyone else’s for that matter - is why do so many players seem so willing to rat out Rodriguez? From Maize n Brew:

For my entire life, I’ve been involved in sports. As soon as that involvement went away from pee-wee mentality and in to legitimate competition, the “voluntary” workout has been involved. These are workouts that probably don’t include the coach, but uh, you’d better be there if you want to play. There is nothing wrong with this; I would wager that every BCS team does this to some extent....

My question, much like Rittenberg, is why the hell does Michigan have so many former and current players willing to throw the program to the wolves? What is it about Rodriguez that has proved to be such a lightning rod for these kind of things?
