keeping 3 pretty good returnees, 3 other returnees, and 3 lowly ranked transfers. Other schools can afford multiple top flight transfers while also keeping some returnees. We can all see where this is going. The race is to raise money. Those with more money will eventually be the winners. Everyone else will be left scrambling for the crumbs. It's not rocket science and it's ripe for corruption piled upon the already existing corruption.
Right now I'm interested in the race to see how that unfolds - particularly for UCLA. I can see the day where coaches are primarily hired for their money attracting charisma. I don't know how long I'll be interested in any of this. I guess it depends on how successful everyone will be in keeping it all from degenerating into something entirely unsavory. We'll see how this works out.
