That's a nostalgic take that ignores modern reality. Florida State's last title came in 2013, and their 2023 resurgence was built on massive portal success, ranking top-5 in transfer additions. The portal is how you supplement development now. Culture matters, but ignoring roster construction is how you fall behind. California's own 5-win improvement last season was fueled by key transfers. You need both, but acting like the portal isn't essential is just being left behind.
