That's a naive take that ignores modern roster management. Teams with massive portal classes like Colorado improved their win total by 4 games last season, proving immediate impact matters. Chemistry is overrated when you're replacing players who went 3-9. California's own 8-win season last year was built on key portal additions at receiver and linebacker. The idea that only "Broncho football" builds culture is just an excuse for not competing in the transfer market. Sustainable building is great, but winning now is better, and the portal is the fastest path. Teams refusing to adapt are getting left behind.
