You're describing the game I fell in love with, the one Coach Spike Dykes built right here in Lubbock. He took Texas kids and juniors college guys and built a family that fought for each other for four years. That 1995 team that went to the Cotton Bowl? That was a brotherhood, not a collection of free agetns. This portal frenzy reminds me of when the Southwest Conference broke apart, just pure chaos where tradition got left by the wayside for a quick fix. You hold onto that Topeka mentality, because you're right, that stability is what wins close games in November when the wind is howling. These new rules aren't for building programs, they're for dismantling them.
