[QUOTE="TechPreacher, post: 382910, member: 2312"] There is a simpler solution that the NCAA can enact -- all scholarships stay on the books for 4 years. If a football player flunks out, goes to jail, gets hurt, goes pro, graduates early, etc, before 4 years is up, that team will play with one less player for the remainder of the 4 year period. For the one-and-done basketball players, that team will play 3 years with one less player. This rule puts the burden on the programs and coaches to regulate themselves. They would have to decide if it's worth it to sign this 5* player who is a definite lock for the pros and will leave early. At some point the field would level itself because the factories would be self-probating, by "losing" scholarships every year. Next year's crop of 5* players have to go somewhere, right? Well, there's no room at Alabama or Kentucky, so they are pushed down the food chain. Some schools will decide it's not worth it, so the kids looking for only a football degree will be left out. Either talent will be more evenly distributed, or student athletes will once again be able to play college athletics without being pushed aside by not-yet-eligible pro athletes. Either way, college athletics improve, without involving the feds, and without adding more oversight burden on the NCAA. [/QUOTE]
