[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 806731, member: 1640"] Ok, so let’s simply what the discussion is. The NCAA already limits the number of schools MOST athletes can attend. The 25 scholarship cap per class and 85 scholarships per program definitely tells MOST athletes where they can and cannot go. This is done for no other reason than for the good of the sport, the good of academic institutions, so they don’t lose perspective, and to balance the playing field. Let’s skip for now whether this is effective, disingenuous or whether it is a system that can be gamed. If we accept the NCAA premise that capping programs is good for the game and good for institutions then I am baffled as to why a cap that keeps 4 or 5 teams from stockpiling talent is such an outrageous idea to explore. Dodd won this battle before, but, sadly, lost the war, as leaving the SEC was the price for being right. I was hoping for a fulsome conversation about how this approach might work and might even save amateur sports but the strong backlash hasn’t allowed that conversation to even get started. Rather than discuss pros and cons most have just dismissed the idea that the NCAA ought to regulate amateur competition and seek to make it fair. [/QUOTE]
