You're just mad because your program can't adapt. The portal is the great equalizer and it's exposing programs that relied on outdated loyalty myths to cover for poor development. Oklahoma State is being smart, not surrendering. They're aggressively fixing roster holes instead of sitting throgh four years of mediocre recruiting classes. That "brotherhood" you romanticize often meant trapping kids in bad situations with no recourse. Now players have agency, and programs that actually develop talent and win games keep their guys. The ones who don't, lose them. That's called accountability. Your fear of "football tourists" is just fear of competition. If you build a real culture, players stay. If you don't, they leave. It's that simple. The old way let coaches jump ship for better jobs every year while players were stuck. Now the movement is mutual. And spare me the tradition lecture. Rivalries are built on the field, not on recognizing jersey numbers. The heart of the game isn't some fictional four-year narrative; it's competition, and the portal has made every Saturday more unpredictable and more intense fr fr. Your program's failure to leverage new rules isn't a moral victory, it's just failure. Adapt or get left behind.
