Impact of New Recruiting Rules

The money won't prevent the $200,000 deals, but it will probably prevent some of the smaller ones and make the recruiting business a little more honest.
I think that the higher GPA rules really benefit the schools that already have tougher standards. Schools like LSU will have more trouble getting the kids that they want qualified, but the Vanderbilts and Stanfords of the college football world won't have to worry about that, so I think it helps them.
I also think that the new GPA rules will hurt the SEC and the South in general, since we have crummier schools than average. Not in a big way, but I think there will be a small impact in the long term.
Thoughts?

Previously, high school seniors needed a 2.0 GPA in 16 core courses. Now they'll need a 2.3 and will have to complete 10 of those classes before their senior year.

It won't affect much of anything. The kids who are phenomenal athletes will still play big time college ball. Period. Big schools "make" it happen. No one can convince me that certain recruits grades aren't already bs. Now they've just got to bs a little more.

Mississippi kids shudder just a bit more...
Pretty clear they are targeting the southern schools who get these minimum qualifers fairly often. The 10/16 before senior year rule I'm not understanding...is this like D'haquille Williams thing? Guys who go to unaccredited schools? I'm not sure how this really affects anything.
What was the previous minimum GPA for JUCO prior to this 2.5? Was it 2.0 as well?

Mike Slive had already passed more restrictive guidelines prior to this. I believe it was 2.5 gpa across the board and a hard cap at 25 scholarships per year. The only thing more restrictive under these new NCAA guidelines would be the multi-year scholarships but that will be decided by the conference just like the $2,000 stipend.

not a lot of money, but an additional 170K per year that most schools with football teams will run in the red

Pay them whatever you want, but the extra 10k for special athletes, the occasional 200 dollar hand shake, or even paying for lunch at KFC (Greg Robinson) will not stop.
You could give these kids 10000 each and they will take the extra 100. They are 17-18-19 year old kids.
