Wait Wait wait I thought the haves were hoarding all the talent? Now they're losing people to the portal? Why pretend us and Ohio State are anywhere near the same situation? To me this is the portal opportunity, we need to snag the kids bama and Ohio State don't have minutes for....and somehow keep our depth without it transferring out....

Well shite. You move the goalposts faster than I can post. We are to Ohio State what North Texas is to us. So if Ohio State loses a player to us, then the powers that be at Ohio State need to have a discussion about player evaluation and development, right?

I'm trying, (and obviously failing) to get you to understand that there is much more involved in players transferring out. Playing time and player development were always factors. What has changed is NIL and instant eligibility.

Of course the haves are hoarding the talent. Always have, and always will. Wasn't long ago, losing 13 players would be an unmitigated disaster. Now it's just a bump in the road where you pony up the money to go buy replacements. If you are one of the heve-nots, you do the best you can. That's us, if you are wondering.
