Just wondering

Considering there is no formal limit as to how many players you can have on the football (or basketball according to my quick research, baseball does limit to 35) roster, I always wonder why the team doesn't just fill it with dozens of "walk-ons" who excel at academics in order to raise the team's graduation rate, average GPA, and get a bunch of academic athlete all americans. Hell is anyone checking practices to make sure everyone is playing?
I mean seriously, who is more valuable when you look at the whole picture? A walk on who never plays with a 2.4 GPA or a walk on who never plays with a 4.0?
Does the NCAA investigate to make sure the kid can actually play? I doubt it.
Just wondering why nobody ever considers doing this. Or maybe they have.
