this is not showing profits

read the graph
Profits they're giving to the central campus budget...same thing.  Money they're willing to part with.  Just a judgement call.  Doesn't change the point.

A list like that has become meaningless since the transfer portal.  You'd have to edit it to say "signed and kept..."

A&M's "best class of all-time" isn't much of anything anymore.

Literally "meaningless"???  Or perhaps the significance of the list has become lessened due to transfers?

Meaningless to me means "without any meaning or relevance" ...

Yep, and it describes that list. It no longer matters with the portal.

For example, my school picked up 3 former 4* QB's in the portal this year.

Where they were prior means nothing.

Those are mostly a few years before my time, but I do own two of them, and I have a third on the way on new vinyl as soon as it's done with the remastered pressing.
