You're missing the point entirely. The portal and NIL are the new reality, and programs that adapt thrive. Sitting out the arms race isn't noble, it's falling behind. While you're praising your spring battles, we're actively upgrading our roster with proven talent to compete in the Big Ten right now. Building through development is fine, but you need elite talent to win, and the portal is how programs like ours close the gap. Your "foundation of work" means nothing if you're getting out-athleted every Saturday. We're using every tool available to build a winner, not just hoping our projects pan out in three years.
