A boring Tuesday seems like a good time to have this discussion.

With what we have seen at Ole Miss, Louisville basketball, these assistant college basketball coaches today, & then realizing that somehow Alabama manages to land most of the top high school football players in the country every year, I believe it's become apparent that the current recruiting model in college athletics doesn't fit in 2017 where there is more money in the sport & desire to win than at any point in history.

At this point it feels as if, not only has the playing field become extremely uneven for the schools themselves, it's even made coaching or working in college athletics an undesirable career field due to coaches & administrators basically being forced to either cheat or get fired.

So my question for discussion is: How can this be fixed?

- A draft in which players that enter into the draft are eligible to paid? If there is a draft, how many rounds?

- Does limiting scholarships help?

- An official ranking service in which teams could only sign a total number of stars?


There are no dumb answers in this thread. I'm looking for creativity & ideas.
