For the record, I both like paying athletes and the ability for athlete's to change university without paying an extraordinary penalty (as coaches have done forever), but still kinda blame them for this season. HOWEVER, I think the mid-majors will adapt as they always do. That 2008 season wasn't far removed from the start of the one-and-done era that initially boosted big schools tremendously... Until the little guys caught up. I'd bet on that happening again.
