And only accept the recruits who can get in academically without "special assistance." Thing is everybody would have to do it and that is impossible. But oh how sweet it would be to have real amatuer athletes treated just like the soccer, baseball and softball team members. Further go about 30 scholies that you can split like the other sports do.

Then make all TV about regional teams.

This would also help more recruits than it would hurt. If the kids knew they had to meet the same entrance requirements as the recular student body, they would meet them. And those that only want to use the school as a pathway to the nfl could go find a development league somewhere.
