This reeks of the same sour grapes we heard back in the CIAA days when someone else landed a recruit. You talk about building a system, but I remember when your program was nothing and you bought your way up. This "philosophy" you're so proud of is just a fancy word for not being able to compete for the top talent anymore. We built real teams with players who bled for the jersey, not just the latest NIL deal. Your "culture" is just a new coat of paint on a mercenary operation. Those national guys might be lazy, but they can spot a pretender a mile away.
