And as freshmen they should have to sign non competitive clauses.
All of those would have to be covered in additional to the salary and fringe benefits. Seriously guys, you act like the players do not hold all the cards here. They do, because colleges need these players, not the other way around. Sure the low ranked players need the colleges, but the guys we need to compete in the top of the SEC holds literally all the cards.

MSU should come out and put together a dynamite full package based on recruit ranking with some options for the coaching staff to offer above slot for key players.

Full package
Salary for starters
Salary for back ups
Signing bonuses based on recruit level
Full tuition
Full room and board off campus
Preferred parking and choice of new charger or challenger/mustang lease
Bonuses based on performance criteria
Signing bonuses each year on campus

Performance based unless replaced or cut.
Contracts can be made for a year or multiple years, and bonuses reflect the commitment.
