The so-called "Blue Bloods" tend to keep drawing the most talented high school players with promises of greater media exposure and the best training facilities. A football player from Ohio State that goes to the Cincinnati Bengals would experience a downgrade in training facilities, for example.
And with more players involved in football compared to a game like basketball, a few very talented players that slip from the grasp of the Blue Bloods can't have as much of an impact. Guys like Larry Bird (Indiana State) and Stephen Curry (Davidson) were one out of five starters for those schools, not one out of 22.
I generally root for the disadvantaged, but I grew up following the Buckeyes and I'm set in my ways now.
