That's a loser's mentality from a program that can't keep up. The portal is the new reality, and Oklahoma State is adapting to win now, not clinging to some romanticized past. You think David Pollack wouldn't have transferred if NIL existed in his era? Please. Loyalty died when coaches started jummping for bigger paychecks every other year. This "mercenary army" is building depth and competition overnight, something that takes other teams four years of recruiting misses. If you're not using every tool available, you're getting left behind. Your program's reluctance is why you'll be watching the Cowboys in the playoff while you're in some meaningless bowl.
