This isn't the first time Ross had to remake a roster. Coming from JUCO he had to do it each year, plus after Grant left he reloaded with some new faces (who are now gone again). It's just the era we are in...until contracts are allowed that will limit movement.
The 1AA playoffs only work because there are home games involved for higher seeds in each round. Using minor Bowls or neutral sites would add huge costs plus more travel and kill attendance.
I like that model. Still offers the G5s the opportunity to move up. The problem, like now with portal and NIL, is the program that gets promoted still has roster-makeover each year. It will not be the same quality anymore as the previous great season.
