Things have to get VERY unequal in the ACC to even come close to bridging the gap between FSU/Clemson and the SEC & B1G.
It diesn't seem like FSU can break the GOR, and as of this moment they don't have a clear path to the SEC or B1G, so why should anyone else in the ACC grab their ankles for FSU & Clemson?
Just our luck, college players can finally be comensated at an unlimited level and, somehow, Texas targets & prioritizes the only 5* recruits in history who don't care about money.
Your posts always suggest one of two things:
#1 Oregon is on another level than everyone else when it comes to NIL $
#2 The key targets we are losing to Oregon are making decisions that aren't based on $
It's a big stew of cognitive dissonance.
I am sure these people are thrilled that Phil is dumping millions to high school kids through NIL.

That is the absolute bullshit narrative being pushed by guys who like to feel important by flexing their internet nuts around here. If you believe what those people have to say about NIL, I can get you a sweetheart deal on the Intracoastal Waterway Bridge in Matagorda.
Obviously, you are correct. What happened decades will factor into Oregon's potential for success this year exponentially more so than their current coaches or roster. If they beat Ohio State & Michigan and go undefeated into the B1G title game, they will do so knowing that the playoff committee likely won't let them into the playoffs because of what Oregon football did in the 50s & 60s.
