Although things have improved YSU is one of the all-time worst mens programs in D1 the last 30+ years. The players the last two years came here for a pay day. How sustainable is that moving forward?
That is the correct question and YSU and the 350 other D1 schools are dealing with the same problem but obviously an OSU has different issues than a low mid major like the Horizon league teams.
The sustainability factor is how much can you afford to pay. Unless the NCAA has any power anymore then it's going to get ugly and shady and like mud said we'll be cheering for the shirt since the body in the shirt is going to be different every season. Looks like the days of a Kendrick Perry or a Cameron Morse playing 4 years at YSU are history.
I think the coaches see it and are adjusting but not sure the fan bases are. Some of the old time coaches like Nick Saban don't want to deal with the madness. Then again old Nick Had no problem jumping several times to the highest bidder himself.
Not sure I can be mad when another team pulls a guy like DJ Burns who we ourselves pulled from a previous team.
