This Aggie copium is off the charts. You can't compete because you aren't winning the battles that matter. Where's the five-star momentum? Oregon and Miami aren't just shouting, they're signing elite talent and their class rankings prove it. Your "sustainable" multi-year deals are what you tell yourself when you miss on the top-tier croots who want immediate impact and market value. Silent commits mean nothing until they sign, and we've seen plenty of those "locked" in-state targets flip when a real bag from a real collective shows up. The 12th Man+ Fund is playing checkers while the top programs are playing chess with seven-figure NIL partnerships. A unified donor base is great, but it doesn't land you the alpha dogs. USC is in those living rooms too, and we're closing with Lincoln Riley's vision and L.A. opportunities that your "academic incentives" can't touch. Your 2027 class might bump, but ours will be sitting in the top five, filled with guys who had national offers, not just strategic endorsements to keep them from the portal. The real work isn't just getting them, it's getting the best. And right now, that's not happening in College Station.
