[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 806647, member: 2426"] So if you are not saying to limit the number of athletes (which is currently done), but only saying that there should be a limit on the number of 5 star athletes allowed at a school, how could that possibly be done? Who determines which athletes are 5 stars? Is it fair to athletes for private recruiting websites to determine what schools they are eligible to attend? What if there are 10 5 star athletes who made 1600 on the SAT and want to study engineering at GT? Do you tell those guys that they can't attend GT, even if they could gain acceptance without the athletic department? And an issue solely related to what you deem as a broken system: Do you not believe that the recruiting websites, who appear to have relationships with some programs, would not interfere with the ratings? I could easily see a handful of 3 and 4 star athletes being rated as 5 so that the athletes who would have been rated as 5 aren't subject to the limitations. People do argue that diversity in college is important. What "diversity" are you promoting by limiting the number of students who were rated as 5 stars by privately operated entertainment media companies? 5 star athletes are diverse. There are intelligent and not-as-intelligent ones. There are different races. There are different economic backgrounds. There is no difference in the diversity of 5 star athletes vs 4 star, or 3 star athletes. [/QUOTE]
