re: A&M’s handling of Sumlin is an example of what’s wrong with CFB: The Saban Affect

I think Clemson has contributed to this, perhaps more than Bama. Alabama is one of the all time greatest programs in college football history. When theyre good, its not that surprising. However, when historically mediocre teams like Clemson come along and suddenly start competing for titles consistently, most programs take a "Why not us?" view. And I think it's a legitimate question for a great many programs.

I agree with this

A&M has more money, a larger fanbase, better facilities, fertile recruiting base and prior to Dabo more historical success and a better winning % than Clemson. Arguing we have no right to hope for better is nonsense. Every school with great resources and the ability to recruit is always one coach away.
