I like the alternate option for maybe a couple games to pay homage to the past. But I absolutely hate that recruits want better facilities, newer uniforms, etc. Oklahoma has national championships, Heisman winners, All-Americans, a load of bowl wins; hell, the current uniforms are flashy enough saying SOONERS on them on that beautiful crimson!
Alabama isn't changing, and I hope they never do. Their 10(15) national championships, 3 in the last 5 seasons are enough for any recruit to say, "screw the uniform craze, and facilities; they have championship hunger and it shows." Also, since the 2008 season, Alabama has been #1 at some point going from 2008-2013. That alone, other than the championships, is enough for a recruit to be convinced that accolades matter over fashion.
Oklahoma is doing fine overall getting what they need in recruits. I just want OU to tone the craze and not get like other programs that are still searching for their first national title.
