[QUOTE="CEB, post: 945864, member: 4905"] I'm not so optimistic. If there are a dozen "blue blood" or "elite" or "contenders" or whatever, no one school is getting rich collecting their 3rd and 4th string cast offs. The departures from those 12 schools are spread across 110 other programs; there aren't enough to change the fortunes of any significant number of programs.... especially when those programs are losing their top performers with some regularity. Reality, there are 10-20 programs that have the potential to run away from the rest of college football (that's not new, but I think its accelerating). They have the power and the resources to do this even before NIL and the portal, but now they can essentially conduct a three-year tryout of every active college player in the nation and cherry pick whomever they need. They might fight amongst one another to poach the top guys, but they aren't fighting with anyone outside of that 20 team peer group. A big state school with massive alumni base and following may surprise everyone and elevate themselves to be part of that group of 20 (maybe Ole Miss or Colorado as you point out), but I don't for one second think this will result in leveling or expanding the field for all. I think a lot of schools are going to find it really difficult to recruit, retain and develop talent. I just don't see how constant roster turnover is going to allow those teams to compete.... its certainly not going to be a benefit to them. [/QUOTE]
