We are tied with Fullerton at 11 defections.
I'm not sure any other team has this level of wholesale player resignation.
We have to try ride out this storm until the NIL storm settles down some.
The concern I have is neither team had a change in head coaches to drive or encourage a mass exodus. Out of 15 total and 14 eligible, 11 have decided not to return. (78%).
But I understand these young men have options and are exercising them. It appears a level of change on a yearly basis should be expected going forward but this seems extreme.
It is an arms race with serious amounts of money. But for how long?
Will it last until the ACC implodes? Time will tell.
