I miss seeing players develop at a school and then having mid-majors loaded with seniors who grew together and became a threat to disrupt the power conference schools hold on the F4, etc. Bill's best teams were combinations of 4-5 year players with talented freshmen.

I agree.

And honestly who gives a **** if they’re students anyway?

If they’re getting paid, I prefer they work on their craft to earn that money.

Spend more time training, less in class (that they likely rarely attend anyway).

Kids who want to, can attend classes. Makes sense for the ones who won’t go pro. Silly for Darren Peterson to pretend he will be on campus to learn.
