Holding coaches financially and professionally accountable for for rule breaking would cause a significant shift.

Holding the NFL more accountable for agents. College teams are the minor leagues of the NFL and the NFL benefits greatly from them. In return for all the NFL access of film, practice visits, visits with players, the NFL, with the Universities (outside of the scope of the NCAA) needs to fund a committee with enforcement powers that can suspend, fine, or ban any agent or a proxy working for an agent who initiates any illegal contact or gifts to a prospective player.

Create a system to detect and aggressively thwart the affect gamblers and their minions have on college sporting events.

Create a fund which players can use for medical care after they are done playing for any injuries caused by football or degenerative issues caused by the significant wear and tear of football. If the player is insured, let his current insurance company hash it out with the fund.

Scholarships are for 5 years. If a player flunks out or gets kicked out, they still count against limits for 5 years . A limited amount of injury or hardship exemptions will be given to each team. As long as a player stays active and meets the teams requirements, he can receive aid.

this would be a start, but it would cut into a lot of the pockets running the scam....

Wouldn't it be easier for the NCAA to simply require that athletic scholarships could only be awarded to students with a 10th grade reading, writing, arithmetic level on the CRCT or other standardized test?

It seems like a lot of the other scenarios and consequences would work themselves out quickly, considering how much money is at stake, as far as NFL farm teams, developmental league, etc.

Those all seem like reasonable areas for consideration. I just have to wonder if we won't see a system constructed where some players are given the option of bypassing college all together. Either by going straight to the pros, or through the creation of an NFL "Minor League." I have to think the NCAA would fight that, though.
