Once the Supreme Court allowed the NIL and portal to be the rule, the P2s and their networks were ready to pounce.

No. players before the Big Buy were more likely to stay with a program as long as they saw rewards of playing time eventually.
The past transfer penalty to sit-out a year kept players at a school and on the team longer....long enough to bond with the school, other players, get girlfriends....it then became more like a home to them. They stayed.

Thanks for that Google Maps pic @UNT 90 Grad. I guess they recently developed the parking lot and put in Burleson Park? Dang, new info right there. Sorry for the false alarm there y'all.

Watch it be 25' out on game day and all this will be moot. haha
