Watched a clip about the 2026 draft and saw names like Jermod McCoy and KC Concepcion getting first-round hype. It just reinforces the year now. A kid plays well for a season, gets a good NIL offer, and he's gone to the highest bidder before you can even learn how to spell his name. We used to have guys who were Cougs for life, who bled crimson and gray for four or five years. Now the locker room feels like a bus station, with everybody just passing through on their way to what they think is a better destination. You can't build a program culture on mercenaries. Coach Price built the '97 Rose Bowl team with players who grew together, not who shopped around every offseason. This whole system is a betrayal of what college football was supposed to be about.
