A true old school fan would know that teams “bought” titles as soon as they started handing them out.
That is true, but the players were always the same. You didn't have to look at the south bend Tribune back section to see what player made a play the first game. You already knew his name and number.

ND players are still largely the same. We are looking at a single-digit number of transfers.

I've been a cubs fan since the 70s. They finally won the world series and I felt good, but it was bought. I feel a championship by ND will feel the same.
Why? If ND wins a Championship in 2026 19/22 starters (86%) could be home grown kids that the staff recruited out of high school and developed. Most of their backups in the 2-deep were developed internally as well.

Boo me or not, it doesn't feel the same when you buy a championship.
I don’t know what to tell you other than you may need to switch your allegiance to Navy b/c every P4 team that wins a natty bought players to one extent or another.

Absolutely a great lineup. I wouldn't want to coach against that. I'm just saying how this portal is changing everything. That's all. GO IRISH!
