Culture is the biggest cop-out in college football right now. Every team losing players is suddenly "building culture" instead of admitting their NIL collective is broke. Real culture wins games, not press conferences. If Washburn is turning down portal taletn, they're choosing to lose. The Stags would take five-star transfers in a heartbeat if we could get them, and we'd still have better chemistry than any D2 program.
Portal mercenaries? That's a rich take coming from a rival who's probably already lining up NIL deals for next year's transfers. Culture is built on loyalty, and we've got players who chose to stay and fight for this prgram. Our staff is recruiting guys who want to be Cornhuskers, not just rent-a-players. You'll see the difference when our team chemistry beats your collection of hired guns every single Saturday.
