Awfully difficult to do when they recruit D1 talent and you are not allowed to. Obvious as heck to those who are willing to see it. And I've said it before...theoretically you could have a 100 enrollment and win 8A--all you have to do is have the best talent in a 2.7 million population go to the same school. That sounds familiar doesn't it?They voluntairlily went up two classes. I don’t think any top privates have been “forced” to go up any more than 2 (well Naz might next year).
If you want to be the best - beat the best.
