That's a tired take from someone who probably hasn't adapted their recruiting strategy. The portal and NIL just changed the game, it didn't ruin it. Bowie State's 2023 squad had a +8 turnover margin, and that roster was built with transfers who bought in completely. Players have always chased opportunity and development, now they just have leverage. The "soul" is still there, it's just in different locker rooms. Teams that build culture, like ours, are still winning.
