Also, I should have mentioned that the laxed transfer rules (and the period with no real transfer rules at all) allowed for the big brands to accumulate proven players on one roster. That, with NIL basically making the 11.7 scholarship rule irrelevant, allows teams to put together much more difficult rosters to deal with. I would posit that LSU would not have been able to have Crews, Skenes, and White on the same team, even if we successfully recruited them as high school players because of draft risk and scholarship limitations. None are from Louisiana so no TOPS way around it either.

This is a really good thought IMO.

Transfer ++ NIL has really changed the landscape overall. Skenes and White wouldn't be here without it and that changes the dynamic. There's more to it than just that, but it's definitely a part of it.

I saw a little of Ole Miss game and jeebus the strike zone was super tight. There is no "black" anymore. It's bad.
