    I get that old school mentality, and I prefer to build my team solely from HS kids that go through the process and start as Redshirt Juniors and Seniors, but I think those days are gone especially in FCS. We must adapt to survive.
    Leadership and maintaining standards of what is acceptable behavior, sometimes takes courage. Especially in the face of overwhelming pressure.

    I have no doubt that CRW will stand up for what he believes in - I'm just saying that the game isn't the same as it was 5 years ago. That's not a good thing, especially for the SoCon which seems to move at a slower pace than a lot of conferences. That has it's advantages for sure and the SoCon has been largely stable during all the conference re-alignment mess, but it's likely going to hurt our performance in athletics.

    Saw that on X a few minutes ago and I'm thinking this guy going to make me eat my words on Will Healy.
    Once upon a time, my alma mater was a college football desert in the middle of SEC/SoCon country. But then ETSU leadership brought back football and brought on as head coach:

    - Carl Torbush, whose teams were nothing to write home about
    - Randy Sanders, who brought ETSU unprecedented success with two SoCon titles
    - George Quarles, who basically ran the team into the ground AND GOT FIRED! (Bye Felicia!)

    As much as it pains me to say it, Healy will do well at ETSU. He can really recruit, and I think he's progressive enough to adapt to the changes in college football due to NIL/Transfer Portal.

    I think a lot of SoCon programs/schools/coaches will struggle in this new era of college athletics.

    ETSU also grabs former UNC QB Jacolby Criswell from the transfer portal. Had 2400+ yds passing after four seasons between UNC and Arkansas.

    WCU fundraising campaign has a new target at $100M.

    All the Ivy League needs to become relevant again is to diversify its OOC schedule.
