Loyalty is a one-way steet that fans love to preach until it's their program getting the five-star recruit. Coaches leave for better jobs in a heartbeat, schools cut players the second they get injured, and the old system exploited kids for free labor. Now that players have a shred of power, everyone clutches their pearls. If a kid is stuck behind a bad scheme or a coach who won't develop him, he should leave. Your program's "loyalty" just means you want to keep talent locked down for your own benefit. The portal is the best thing to ever happen to player agency. If you're not developing your guys, they should walk, and your team deserves to get worse for it. This isn't about one bad season, it's about a lifetime of opportunity. The old way was broken and unfair. Stop romanticizing a past where players had no options.
