That's a tired take from someone who clearly misses the old system that only benefited the schools. The idea that players staying put "built men" ignores how many careers were wasted on benches with no recourse. The portal and NIL have simply given athletes the same freedom every other student and coach has always had. Look at the quarterback carousel, it's raised the floor of play across the country because talent finds the field. Michigan Wolverines had to adapt, and their culture under Jim Harbaugh was built on competition, not entitlement. If a kid leaves because he didn't win the job, that opens a spot for someone more committed. The "soul of the game" wasn't in trapping players, it was in competition, and now there's more of it than ever. Programs with strong cultures, like Michigan's, are still winning at the highest level because they develop players and navigate the new landscape better than others. The real issue for some schools is they can no longer rely on just stacking talent and keeping it dormant. This system rewards development and genuine opportunity, and programs that fail to provide that are the ones complaining the loudest.
