Reducing the number of scholarships

Some people get off on the powerhouses dominating the little sisters of their respective conferences, that's cool, but I think it would make for better entertainment Tuesday through Saturday spreading the wealth around.

Why don't recruits just draw teams out of a hat?

Like I said before, the only thing limiting scholarships would do its take away the players powerhouses take a chance. The powerhouses would still get the same just abut the same amount of 4 and 5 star guys

There is no such thing as having too many good players.

Making good teams less good just to bring up schools that can't win is socialism. Pure and simple.

If the bad schools want to have good programs, they need to do the work necessary.

Powerhouse schools spent decades building their programs. Why in the hell should we just hand out parity to other schools?

Hell, let's just end recruiting all-together. We'll tell kids where they can go to school.

And since all teams are evenly matched, we'll stop playing the game. Every team gets to go 6-6 every year, and we'll rotate National Championships on a weekly basis.

Damn fine post.

It won't hurt the powerhouse schools though. Take Florida's 2006 recruiting class. It ranked No. 2 by Rivals.com. There were 27 players in that class: Seven became major contributors to the supposed greatest class in SEC history. That's it—seven players. The other 20 were either role players or never even saw the field. There are probably a dozen or so that even a Gator fan would not recognize.

So you're saying Florida should figure out which ones are good and give the players that didn't contribute to some other team?

As part of the 65 limit, I think every team should have to have at least 2 women and a midget on the roster as well. That will really make things interesting. Girls from the Russian swim team need not apply.

No thanks. There's already enough socialism in Washington. Keep it out of college football.

If it was in place now and we end up doing a coaching search in say 3 years, it could be a better indicator of which coaches do more with less.

That make any sense?

Yeah, but explain to me what about reducing scholarships brings parity to the table.

Top players don't have as many options due to scholarship limits, thus pushing them down to a lower-level team.

What would ordinarily be the depth players on lower-level teams then get pushed down to 1-AA.

Depth recruits at 1-AA are pushed down.

And so on.

Every time a small conference team has a stellar year, they usually have some serious talent that either was passed over by large schools due to injury, inexperience, or unwillingness to scout low-level high school ball.
