Compete for and win the conference on a regular basis, against peers that have the same advantages and limitations we do.

I agree. This is the same drum I've been beating for a few years now with all the changes. Just win the conference. Nothing else matters more than that. Everything else is a distraction at this point.

I see one of two things happening. Either it’s rebuild every year with very little player development or something is done to limit the transfer portal. The current portal situation will be a wrecking ball to any and all top tier G5 teams.

There are some P4 teams in the same boat.

That is the new reality. Talent evaluation is more important than ever.

That is built up over time. If you are sucessful those coaches will be gone. If you are not then they were not very good at evaluating. It is a new deal now. You have the money to buy players or you don't get to the top. College ball is now played at the DIV 2 and 3 level. We are in semi pro.

Interesting points. Are the good G5’s even trying to recruit the higher rated players anymore? I’m sure they still try but you can almost ask what’s the point? Flip side is that if the higher rated G5’s became in essence the triple A and the top tier high school players came for 2 years then if good enough “moved up” would our fans be happy assuming it translated to 9-3 years?

The reality is the top G5s are now double-A. The Big 12, ACC, and restarting Pac-12 are triple-A. It's SEC and Big 10, then everyone else.

We should never underestimate the importance of chemistry in team sports. The lack of personnel continuity from season to season and shifting player attitudes related to financial gain will make it even more challenging to sustain team chemistry on/off the field over time. And there is a strong correlation between team chemistry and successful seasons.

I have wondered if the coach who gets and keeps a bunch of B and B+ players will do better than the coach who simply rotates through a bunch of A players. It’s could be a strategy.

I think that you can do that in a sport like basketball where you only need 8 or 9 players. Football needs 40 something of those dudes which is a tall ask.
