This is a clickbait headline that doesn't really warrant a reply.

However, I will note that Lincoln Riley ran players off his team when he was hired at USC and recruited transfers like he was Goldman Sachs going after top MBAs. Yet I have not heard his program characterized as "mercenary."

Looking ahead, who would be the most aggressive team in the ACC with regard to transfers?

USC is indeed a mercenary team.  I said that a year ago.  They had almost as many transfers coming onto their football team as Stanford had in the whole university.
