That's a lazy take ignoring how recruiting has always worked. Top programs have always leveraged their resources, whether it was facilities, TV exposure, or NFL pipelines. Texas Tech's 2023 class ranked 40th nationally, so this shows they're building momentum with a 9-win season, not just buying players. The 1999 team you're nostalgic about absolutely used every advantage they had at the time. Acting like financial support is some new, corrupting force is just being salty a rival landed a big-time player.
