[QUOTE="The Bell Tolls for Thee, post: 132012883, member: 1812660"] The NIL is in its infancy and free transfers whenever/wherever is only 5 or so years old. Wait 5 more years and see if WVU can bring along 2 classes of players into upperclassmen status without the best being poached or the whole class turning out to only be so-so. The system is already tiered, but the point is that NILs along with freedom of transfers will only more solidify the tiers of FBS. Thus a Boise State, WVU, UCF, Cincinnati, etc... making a magical run will become even less likely moving forward. Before the blue blood schools got their pick of recruits and JUCO's. If they missed on a Slaton or Tavon, they were out of luck on those guys. Now every year those blue bloods can dump their recruiting misses into the transfer portal while still having a good shot at landing the recruits from lower schools that turned out to be good. Not to mention lateral moves from WVU to other schools on the same level. Example, say a QB really wants to go to Kentucky because say it is his hometown or his parents are alums. But he sees a guy with 4 years of eligibility that looks like a Geno Smith ahead of him at UK. So he settles for WVU because he doesn't want to risk only maybe starting one year. Well if that incumbent UK QB gets poached, irreparably hurt or leaves early for the NFL and UK comes calling on the guy WVU is building around, there is nothing keeping him from heading out. Sure it could work in the reverse, but by sheer statistics a scenario like the one above is the more likely to happen given the small population of WV and the spread of all it's fans. Your examples of the top QB's being from minor schools and Texas with Sarkisian is not even one full year into the buying of college athletes with freedom to move. I will say that undoubtedly a bad coach can **** up the most ideal NIL laden and prestigious program. However, even a great coach will have difficulty at WVU if they cannot rely on building the roster from the ground up. Hard to see how the age of the NIL and free transfers doesn't hurt any team outside of those considered traditional powers, those with fans concentrated in a surrounding community with money (since NIL deals do not come directly from the schools), and those that compete in the 2 mega conferences.
