You're missing the point by focusing on the American when the real arms race is in the SEC. While Tulsa worries about havoc rates, we're locking down five-stars and winning battles against Georgia and Alabama for elite croots. Our class rankings and NIL collective are built to compete for national championships, not just conference tiers. That disciplined portal approach you praise is what programs do when they can't win recruiting wars for top high school talent. The gap you see in the AAC is a symptom of programs being left behind in the new era. We're focused on closing the gap with the true elites, not analyzing the minor leagues.
