You're just bitter because your program can't compete in the new landscape. The game has evolved, and smart teams adapt. Our NIL collective is a strength, not a weakness, because it shows we're committed to supporting our players fully. Those "mercenaries" you complain about are seasoned veterans who can contribute immediately to a championship culture. Development still happens, it's just accelerated. While you're romanticizing the past, we're building rosters to win now and in the future. The heart of the sport is still there, it just has a new economic reality.
