worse... a team like KC would have no chance of winning a World Series.

The odds are stacked against smaller market teams, but at least they have a *chance* because of the rules in place.

College FB was similar to the MLB prior to pay-for-play ("NIL") and free agency (via the portal). The odds were stacked against lower- and middle-tier programs like ours, but at least we had a chance. Now, it's virtually impossible to build a national contender like we had in '07 or '13. Too many of our productive players would transfer out to the highest bidder each year.
