I know Coach doesn't allow up votes on posts, but this deserves an upvote for sound thinking.
If you sincerely want to do something, offer a recruit a signed contract for a $100,000 a year job in your public relations dept. with a 10 year no fire clause after he graduates, or flunks out after 4 years of play. I think that is legal and equates to a million dollar offer.
I would sign with MSU for that. and it shows you are not just beating your lips together.
