That's a loser's mentality. You build contenders by acquiring talent, period. Texas A&M is playing the modern game correctly, and your program's failure to adapt is why you're complaining. The "right way" is the way that wins games. Character doesn't score touchdowns, five-stars do. If you're getting outbid, that's a filure of your own collective, not some moral victory. The sport evolved. Catch up or get left behind.
