[QUOTE="cpf2001, post: 971494, member: 6459"] I was trying to point out the flaw with what you said. There's no objective standard here, so scaling everyone's talent up or down across the board is irrelevant. It's about being the best. It's an entertainment market, the top draws are based on being the best *relative to everyone else*. If suddenly the best players were all that much worse but the best programs were still the best program, not much would change. The best of the new players would still be in the most demand and a market would still exist for them for being the best of the available talent. The sales power and appeal of the name on the front of the shirt relies on stacking up well in terms of players. So there's a market for players good enough to keep GT where it is - or, rather, to get GT back to where it was - even beyond the top 10, because the alternative for GT - not trying to compete for those players - is program suicide. How long would it take for GaSt, GaSo to outdraw GT if GT simply stopped recruiting ACC-level players and all those same players went to one of those alternatives? [/QUOTE]
