This is one of the reasons why great coaches from the pre NIL era are hanging it up. Just not worth it any more. Jay Wright is a great example IMO and to a lesser extent Nick Saban.Besides the fact that the transfer portal has demonstrated that athletes today, really have no loyalty to a particular school unlike longer ago when kids growing up, wanted to play for a PSU or Norte Dame: how does a recruiter attract a star player to a school knowing that this person could bail out on the team within a year or two? Not only do you have to work at bringing them into a school, but now it takes as much work to keep them staying with a team for the long-term.

By thrive you mean be a top four team and win a national championship? Then yes, you are right. Remains to be seen.Guys like Franklin, whose best attribute as a coach is his hustle, should thrive in this environment. Remains to be seen.
