I'll ride for Mike D all day, but we have to take off our red glasses for a moment. This is strictly business, welcome to the big league.
We all have or knew someone who has left a job at a smaller company to follow a leader at bigger company. This often leads to a pay increase. This is often not solicited by the leader. It's the personel taking advantage of an opportunity. These kids were great Cajuns and good luck as they move on. It's a bigger payday and an opportunity to play SEC ball.
We almost had Stetson Bennett. The kid bet on himself and he's leading a team in the FBS Championship game. These kids deserve the the same opportunity.
I agree, circle the wagons. We know know the rules and the game. We can't go toe-to-toe with SEC football. If we want to keep these guys, we'll have to spend with the big boys. NIL has accelerated the gap between P5 and G5.
Hate the game, not the players.
