Correct. This is the biggest single reason why recruits choose their schools.
Some schools have the pull to recruit nationally but even then the odds are generally against them.
This is the single biggest reason an Ohio State fan started oversigning.com because he and most Big Ten fans realize they have to limit as many scholarships as possible to compete team for team with the SEC in recruiting. I would respect the anti-oversigning crowd more if they would just admit that instead of feigning genuine concern about the student athlete. Most B1G Ten fans don't give a s### about the student athlete any more than fans in any other conference do. Sure, everyone would like to see the players realize what a great opportunity they have to earn a free college education but no one is really losing sleep over it if they blow the great opportunity they have with every resource available for them to take advantage of the free education.
B1G fans especially like to use oversigning as a way to pass themselves off as morally superior to the SEC and make excuses. Some schools in all the major BCS conferences "oversign" but only the SEC is called out for the legal practice.

Yet the SEC has taken steps to eliminate the practice as they have recognized the flaws of oversigning recruits.
The Big Ten has limited the number of recruits a team can sign for quite some time.
