NIL/Open Transfer Era Team Building

[shock]

Looks like Mills saw what Senior laden teams were able to do in the post season. Maybe that’s what’s going on here, and maybe that’s the future.

I mean everyone keeps saying how each year is new anyway. So why not go with the most experience you can? Class balance is the past.

That’s about all a team can do anymore when kids are incentivized to not stick around for the long haul.

Probably true .. which mean recruiters will be important.

I have often thought of this analogy, and I hope it can help me alter my thinking.

Stereotypically, I often hear Royals fans ***** and moan about how the Yankees and Red Sox spend too much money and keep the Royals from having success. That is not entirely inaccurate, but I bring this devil's advocate view. True, the disparity is in full display when the teams play. But what about when the Royals get their asses kicked by teams in their own division (this season not as much an example since the Royals have had a decent start)? What does that have to do with the big-market teams?

My point is that while the P5s of the world piss me off and are ruining college sports as a whole, how about we get back to kicking ass within our own conference? Our league foes generally face the same issues that we do. With perhaps the exception of Memphis, there really aren't schools who have considerably more support than we do (fiscally or physically, as GM once said). If we can get back to contending within the conference, I will let the national chips fall where they may. Control the controllables (as Doc says so often).

I've stated it a few times on SN. Player contracts could do wonders. Until then you really can't compare pro sports poor teams to college level poor teams because players move willy nilly with no incentive to stay unless you have a big purse. Poor teams will lose their best players annually, where as pro teams have theirs under contracts for a period of time.
And that affects all teams without big purses even when playing each other because of constant rebuilding.

Yup we have reached a point we have all the bad parts of pro sports without the controls in place that allow it to work in the pros

This is true.
