these days. It likely meant something 10 years ago. Now it's just a revenue stream and a reason to hold some special camp to get parents and colleges to spend money to get there. Like all things... Once the honey pot gets too big it gets corrupt and broken.
The motivation becomes money and not delivery of value.

Just look at the US Gov't and political system.

Chris Tyree is back to 5 stars [NT] [LINK] - MrP - 10:46pm 8/13/19 (26) [View All]
- I think we all know, # of stars don't mean shit. Ask Jurko. Ask Crist. [NT] - faircatchcorby - 10:07am 8/14/19
  - This comment is not what most of the post I have seen on here have stated, saying that ND isn't - MrP - 11:30am 8/15/19
  - Stars are important as far as talent goes. I mean look at Alabama and Clemson. Yes, mistakes are - THEISMANCARR - 10:43am 8/15/19
  - Finally, a sense of reason. The idea of the service is good, but it's more pay to play or marketing - oldirish - 8:17am 8/15/19
  - I think we all know this, but # of stars is directly related to likelihood of success in college - Chris94 - 10:22pm 8/14/19
    - Likelihood, yes, guarantee, no. [NT] - faircatchcorby - 9:44am 8/15/19
    - Yup - Nigel Tufnel - 8:27am 8/15/19
    - It's true that it's the black marble in a bag of red marbles math probability. But, it's equally - oldirish - 8:22am 8/15/19
      - This makes no sense at all - Chris94 - 10:43am 8/15/19
        it makes total sense. I'll break it down for you. - oldirish - 8:29pm 8/15/19
        
        Agreed [LINK] - MrP - 11:40am 8/15/19
        If more 5 stars are given, then obviously more would be drafted. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. [NT] - oldirish - 8:30pm 8/15/19
        Exactly how many 5 stars do you think there are? [NT] - StreetFightingIrish - 4:37am 8/16/19
        2010 Rivals-26, 2019-30: 15% increase. 2010 247 - 21, 2019- 35: 66.67% increase - oldirish - 7:16am 8/16/19

        Your point has been debunked. - MrP - 11:18am 8/16/19
        Good pt, but I don't believe it's debunked as listed above only two of all the services have higher - oldirish - 3:07pm 8/16/19
  - When you consider Tommy Rees and Ian Book I would agree [NT] - PBHangingChad - 1:34pm 8/14/19
  - I believe it is premature to write off Jurokev. Not every great qb started his first or second year [NT] - michiganirish - 12:01pm 8/14/19
    - You're right, but not many that look this poorly this far in recover either. [NT] - oldirish - 8:14am 8/15/19
    - I believe it is premature to write off Jurkovec. Every great qb started his first or second year? [NT] - michiganirish - 12:02pm 8/14/19
- So ND is good again? [NT] - NDNEIL - 8:15am 8/14/19
  - How can you beat 12-0 [NT] - joeconnell - 11:15am 8/14/19
    - By being 14-0 instead of 12-1 [NT] - Shadow_of_the_Dome - 11:25am 8/14/19
      - Ding, ding, ding. Winner. [NT] - faircatchcorby - 9:46am 8/15/19
