This is the most tired, jjealous take in the sport right now. You're only sick because your program can't keep up. The portal and NIL are the great equalizers. For decades, programs like yours were content to hide behind "tradition" and "culture" while the same five schools hoarded all the talent. Now a coach can actually rebuild a roster in one offseason. Colorado had to do it because the previous staff left them with nothing. Calling it soulless is just a cover for your own program's lack of ambition. If your coaches were better recruiters and your boosters cared more, you'd be using the portal too. Instead, you want to go back to the "good old days" where your place in the pecking order was guaranteed. That era is dead. Adapt or get left behind. Deion Sanders is playing the new game better than anyone, and it terrifies you. This isn't free agency, it's finally giving players power and choice. If that ruins your nostalgia, that's your problem. The sport is more exciting now than ever.
