Great points. Saban was aided by a boatload of talent also. More than any other team during his historic run. He routinely had the #1 recruiting class in the country.

Two years. He was the only one who understood this philosophy.
You are correct in that others are going to catch up, but in doing that. The OSU, BAMA and UGa's will not be able to stockpile talent anymore and near the top a lot more teams are going to be competative. Even if OSU starts hitting the portal hard. Its going to harder for them. Because of recruiting, they will have high level HS recruits that they had to pay big money to. If you pull the rug out from under them, are going to bolt to another school.
I read something 5 or 6 year years ago from a Big 12 kid that transferred to OSU. When asked about the difference he said. Our first units were not all that far apart, but the third and fourth units at OSU were just as good as our first unit at the old school (I think it was Oklahoma State, but Im not sure). That is why OSU has been so good. Now, it you think OSU is going to figure out someway to keep the recruits on board for 4 years while bringing a handful of portal recruits. I think you are wrong. They are already losing their depth. OSU is still going to be really good, but the days of the same two or three dominate teams every year. The portal has taken care of that.
Everybody hates the portal, but is creating better parity in college football than has been seen in a long time.
How long do you think the current NIL structure can financially continue? Eventually some of these "contributors" will run dry on funds.
Its a great question and I have no idea. How long until they end up like the federal government and are spending money they dont have? All I believe is that eventually almost every team will not show restraint and will end up spending pretty much everything they are making.
I still think the solution is they need to stop having these kids go to school and just call them employees.
What did Texas Tech and Ole Miss do in HS recruiting rankings the last couple of years? Were they all 4 and 5 stars? Not to mention Indiana absolutely obliterated Alabama who I know had many more 4 star and 5 stars than IU. Then Indiana did it again to Oregon. Didn't squeak by them they CRUSHED them. No contest.
All this star gazing are BGJ fan boys trying desperately to create their bitter narrative that Campbell will fail and we will lose 4-5 games every season because he can't get talent.
The CFB world has changed. Yes, you need some HS talent but the blueprint is to get experience through the portal. Fernando Mendoza was a 2 star. If Penn State had recruited Fernando Mendoza the whining and bit##ing by some people on this board would wake up the lions slumbering on Mount Nittany!
Very likely. Get used to it. Indiana is a power in the B10. If PSU played IU in Bloomington this season who would you bet wins?
Apple will never make it as a computer company or as a company in general. My bet is on the established big boy called IBM.
Signed the clueless from 1982.
Says the CMC fanboy.
If psu with their higher rates recruits played Indiana this year who would you pick?
CMC is not cignetti.
