It’s a total joke as it currently works. The Burch circus is just the latest in a seemingly annual display of dumb shite.

Between using 1980s technology, constant flip flops, coaches bailing, processing, etc., it’s just really seedy and gross.

Are there any practical ideas that could be implemented quickly to fix this broken system?

Maybe when the whole story comes out it won’t be “dumb shite”
You just don’t know all the details as it is, none of us do or it would be posted all over this site.
Evans played the fool and lost the opportunity to play at the school of his choice.
Until the NCAA stops turns a blind eye toward certain programs, there’s not much anyone can do.

Total overhaul.

1. Consensus top 300 players required to declare top 5 schools.

2. After 5 rounds of drafts, and the player is still not chosen by said 5 schools then the player can sign with any school he chooses as long as the school will take him and has room.


Horrible. You’re telling high school kids they can’t choose where they go to school.

So a kid who is a stud player, that grew up in Baton Rouge, his siblings go to LSU, and he is a die hard LSU fan might get chosen by another school.

Lol no

Tar and feather adults who comment on 'croots tweets and IG posts.

Share Rivals and 247 info with the masses to run them out of business.

Do away with Rivals, 247, etc. The coaches will still do their legwork, and the Advocate can print the list of 25(ish) players who signed after the first Wednesday in February. Going back to the stone ages is the only way to reverse the media circus this has become.

Make hard deadline dates. As in you sign on national signing day or you don’t sign at all. Forced to play juco or sit out.
I mean kids and family have had plenty of time to make an educated decision on where to attend by February of their senior year.

Brain storming isn’t the strong suit with this crowd.
Coach O can’t coach, look at his Ole Miss record.
Joe Brady is just here to fetch coffee
Why are we taking Ohio States back up QB


Go.......

Top 100 prospects TV show, each prospect announcing top 3 schools. Advertising proceeds fund classes for all the prospects about how to prepare for the NFL, importance of financial dos and donts, etc.

Eliminate signing day. Once kid is a senior, and you offer a scholarship he can sign on the spot

Give recruits an “Out Clause”

When they sign their LOI there is a line that says why they signed to said school (wether it be because of a coach, playing time, facilities, etc.)

When the school accepts the LOI they agree to that contract.

If at any point the cause is found to be void, the player is allowed to transfer wherever they want without having to sit out a year.

Well yeah that’s the point, it’s dumb to have the same teams contending year in and year out.
