Yeah, any MSU fans who are pissy about it, better get used to it. This is what they've turned college football into. MSU finds an underrated 3* kid, he'll leave. So MSU needs to go steal a kid from Wake Forest or UConn, who should have been a 3*, and then Wake or UConn can go steal a kid from Temple.
But that is why the portal has narrowed the window. MSU's window was finding underrated 3* recruits, who played like 4/5* recruits. Now, when they do that, that kid will just leave for a helmet anyway. That's why unless you are a fan of like a dozen schools, you better not get too worked up about winning trophies, because they took a stacked system, and stacked it even more in favor of the helmets, because the tv networks control everything. It's why they took like 30 plays out of games this year, and unlike baseball, which used it to speed up games, college football just added commercials.
