You Badger fans always did romanticize that plodding, three-yards-and-a-cloud-of-dust football. We built champions at Alabama A&M too, but we never had the luxury of hiding kids from other offers. What you call "development" we called survival. The portal finally gives our kids at HBCUs a fighting chance to be seen on a national stage, something we've been denied for decades. That 1998 team you're so proud of would have never played in the Rose Bowl if the old systems were truly fair. You're just bitter the rest of the country finally has a mechanism to compete with the resources your program always took for granted. This isn't erasing what a program is, it's forcing every program to finally prove their worth to their players every singe day.
