This makes no sense. Nebraska as an example doesn't prove that talent is more important than resources. If anything it proves the importance of
evaluations. Nebraska has resources, and were recruiting at a top 20 level. The issue is they've been recruiting the wrong players, which is why they were one of the biggest losers in the transfer portal this offseason.

But for every Nebraska, I can give you Iowa, Iowa. St, Mich St, Baylor, TCU, Wisconsin, U of W, Wash St, etc. These are all programs that have drastically outperformed their recruiting rankings over the yrs. Why is that?
No one is arguing that a higher level of resource allocation guarantees you a NC. There are no guarantees in life. It's about maximizing the probability for making the right HC hire, and giving yourself the best chance to win.
