That's a romantic view of a past that wasn't always better. Youngstown State's 2022 playoff run was built on portal guys like quarterback Mitch Davidson, who threw for 2,418 yards and 18 TDs. That team had soul. The narrative now is about building a winner, and the portal is a tool. Rivalries are about the crest on the helmet, not the name on the jersey. The hatred for North Dakota State isn't diminished because their roster changes, it's fueled by losing to them in the Fargodome. The game evolves. Winning builds legacy, and you use every avenue to win.
