Yeah, right! I think with the transfer portal along with NIL has evened things out a bit. Granted, a lot of players want to be associated with a P6 program, but I think with the NIL, it gives other players ability to make money while going to a program where they can get some playing time. It kind of closes the gap between the High Majors and Mid Majors, which is forcing the HM hand and causing them to close ranks to get as many teams bunched up as possible.
The transfer portal and the NIL has helped the game. Damn the P6 for trying to subvert it.

Yes, and it will. The purpose is to make a larger gap between the P6 and everybody else. In that it has succeeded along with the NET and refusal to schedule good non P6 teams. Our best players leave. We then raid lower majors for their best players. Doesn't mean you can't have a good team, but it's a lot harder and there are much fewer opportunities to show it.

The evidence and reality is different than the tired “P6 schools are ruining college sports” narrative.

But that doesn’t change the fact that very few mid majors got any at large bids. They just happened to perform extremely well, which actually provides an argument that more kids should be in.
