Recruiting and signing athletes had a cap, sorta like the salary cap that you couldn't go over.

I know, I know it's a stupid idea but leveling the college playing field by only allowing a certain recruiting ranking number allowed to be signed. It would surely make the good coaches stand out and keep the dynasty teams at a minimum. It would also make following recruiting more interesting.

Have 1 recruiting service, sanctioned by the NCAA to rank recruits, 1-5 star and, for example, you are limited to a min/Max 70--100pts. So if you sign 25 4 stars, you met your Max. If you happen to sign 5 5 stars that equal 25, then you have to take less 4 stars or sign some 3 stars. Whatever the max would be, it may not be 100 and could be 90.

Or you can use the current ranking of total points and limit teams to signing no more than 300 pts in Team ranking points.

The alabama crimson tide has reduced this fanbase to demanding the college football equivalent of affirmative action.

Not only can lsu not compete nationally, lsu can't compete in it's own state.

There's no louder cry of uncle than this.

Interesting concept, I was actually thinking of ways that the NCAA can buck the Bama trend.

I guess my fear would be the subjectivity of the rankings. We would probably find ourselves complaining about how Bama players convienently get bumped down from 5* to 4* so they could sign more freak athletes.

It's no different than all professional sports. Teams like New England that have to draft well, find diamonds in the rough, and depend on great coaching to remain great.

It's accepted throughout pro sports, why not have a similar system in college?

I'm not advocating for it but the concept seems like something that would spice up recruiting and college football.

Considering recruiting rankings are so fluid and guys move up and down stars you wouldn’t be able to keep the numbers straight. You would have to get commitments from guys and project where they will end up in the final rankings. Unless you count the star they were at during commitment and if it changes after that you still get them at the same “price” but if they decommit then the “price” changes when the commit again.

The NFL does all sorts of things to produce parity such as the draft order and scheduling. Parity keeps fan interest up, something that is dying with Bama’s total domination of college football under Saban.

this isnt the nfl, and saban hasn't dominated college football to the point we need to blow the whole fricking system up. college football is great because it actual has blue bloods and dynasties.

Really? They have won like five NCs in the last ten years, and made the playoffs every year. The also had the #1 recruiting class nine of the last ten years, and are on track to have one of the greatest classes ever this year.

If that’s not domination, I don’t know what is.

It's not like other teams don't look at LSU (and Clemson, OSU, etc) and complain like how do WE get such great classes...remember, we get elite classes, too.

Are the professional sports leagues Marxist? Because they all do similar things to maintain parity. That’s how they keep the paying customers interested in their teams.

Regulations are already in place to limit scholarships to 85 total and 25 per year, this idea surely isn't Marxist.

I’d just settle for every program being held to the same standard when it comes to recruiting. No more turning a blind eye when evidence has been handed to you. No more shutting down the little guy for doing the same shite you allow the big boy teams.

Or what if you could only recruit players from your own state?

My dad used to make the older boy fight on his knees to even it up. Perhaps we can get the NCAA to make Bama play without cleats or something...this is pitiful!
