It is why they are the gold standard programs in CFB right now. Those players have a COMPLETE buy in to the program.
That's why I have no sympathy for FSU. Bunch of mercenaries from the start. At least 4 opt outs were 1 year portal guys, and 3-4 were 2 year portal guys. And of course Fabian Lovett and Jarian Jones opted out - they've been about the money since high school. When you build your team like that there will be no loyalty and the best will opt not to play unless it is to their advantage to do so. Welcome to the new CFB
