If he doesn't end up at Yewtah I'm guessing it's rather due to eligibility issues and not because players don't want him, although the Yewts seem quite adept and qualifying academic issues other schools cannot.

They and most P5 universities seem to have a blind eye to most criminal offenses, or at least it has to be something egregious that occurred in their program. So unless Bernard has more egregious criminal charges than we know that shouldn't impede their wanting him.
