Man, this is some serious doom and gloom from smoeone who clearly doesn't understand how we operate. Our NIL collective is strong and strategic, it's not just about throwing the biggest bag at every recruit. We sell development, tradition, and a degree that lasts forever, something no SCIAC school can even pretend to match. Landing those guys is about fit and future, not just a bidding war. And a Mountain West school flipping our QB target? Please. Once a kid experiences a game day in South Bend, sees Touchdown Jesus. The portal is a reality for everyone, but our culture is different. Guys who buy into Notre Dame aren't just here for a transaction, they're here to be part of something bigger. We develop NFL talent consistently, and that long-term value beats a short-term cash grab every single time. Our "war chest" is just fine, because we're investing in the right things and building a team, not just renting players. Worry about your own roster retention.
