Maybe it's a part of the movie TENET. If it is, somehow it all makes sense.

The players, who sit in the front half of the plane,
I’m guessing to make the W&B work most of the heavy gear will go into the aft luggage hold.

after the grounds crew did not put the plane's tail stand in place
Everybody is important and nobody wants to wait 30 seconds.
Such a Swift thing to happen though.

Ok, Lewiston, ID, charter flight. Do they have a tail stand available, take it with them?

The load planner should have an idea with loading, potential issues on the other end, unloading​​​​​​. I guess that didn’t happen?

Did the flight crew get an ACARS message about potential tail tip??

In the picture possibly a lot of luggage was taken out of the forward pit, aft closed? Was improper unloading a factor??

I'm fairly certain if the team charters a narrow body that they truck all the gear in.

Skirby will blame it on covid and the unvaccinated.
Aircraft wouldn’t have tipped if the whole pax list was vaccinated and wore three face diapers.

Should have kept the O-line seated until deplaning was complete! Apparently it didn’t negatively affect the Trojans too much winning 45-15.
