I blame high school football coaches. You should have a pretty good idea of which kids will be recruited when they are freshmen in high school. If the HS coaches were doing their job, they'd be preparing those kids properly to help make sure they qualify, at least from GPA and core course perspective.

At least we're on kids in their sophomore years now on average. If these standards we're in place 10 years ago it would have been catastrophic for SEC teams.

Do you really? So the kids and their parents aren't responsible for taking care of their own business? While it is nice if a high school coach helps direct the player and I feel they have some obligation to do so in their capacity as a head coach, the fault in this situation has to fall back onto the student-athlete and parents. Why is it everyone else's fault?
