why is this an attack on the SEC then


8 of the top 20 recruiting classes currently in Rivals are SEC schools. They are obviously taking a shot at the top dogs.

Could it be possible that we have 8 in the top 20 bc the SEC is the best football conference?

Or they're tired of the Big 10 and Big 12-4 bitching about us

5 per team is about 600 fewer free college educations per cycle. Shouldn't the NCAA be working to get more athletes into college, instead of limiting opportunity? This is awful.

Fix your thread title. This is a good topic and might not get clicks.

So they've went from unlimited schollies in the 70's, to 105, to 95, 85, and now 80? If it hasn't solved the 'problem' yet, maybe it isn't the solution. Maybe when these other schools start devoting the time, money, and resources(not to mention fan support) that most of the SEC schools do, they'll achieve this magical 'parity'. Everyone want's a trophy, but they don't want to do the work.

Maybe the solution is to treat it like T-ball and call everyone a winner for showing up.

You're still doing it wrong. How about 'NCAA discusses further limiting schollies'?

That might end the association with the NCAA.

I'd like that for a lot of reasons, but I imagine the cheating would become unbearable fairly quickly.

Let's see... 120 FBS schools x 5 schollys each = 600 people not going to college that may otherwise have.

FRICK YEA, NCAA! It's all about the students!

Actually it would be about 1,200 not going to college because it means if those schools drop 5 male athlete scholarships, then they can drop 5 female ones from a money draining sport and still comply with Title IX.
