[QUOTE="stinger78, post: 977234, member: 6771"] This all just a new version of what Coach Dodd deplored about the SEC in his day. He hated what he called the "free tryout" the factories were creating by cutting players who didn't pan out to make room for more recruits. He wouldn't do it and so it created a competitive disadvantage. In my mind, of course it creates an advantage for the team that can stockpile top talent year after year, let their non-contributors go, and then stockpile some more. In that system, we'll get the factories' castoffs, who are good enough to help us, but will still leave us behind the factories since they are just piling up more and more top talent. So, it helps both. How much relative to one another, I don't know. That would be hard to determine, but it seems likely it's helping them more. [/QUOTE]
