1. No more lowering admissions standards for athletes. This is where I would start.
2. Eliminate the transfer portal and go back to the sit out a year rule.
College football needs to actually be college football again, not just 100 hired guns who don't care who they're playing for.
I've said numerous times that SEC stadiums would still sell out and the atmospheres wouldn't change if every team in the conference looked like Mount Union. I have lost a lot of my enthusiasm for college football over the last 10 years or so, and I was someone who wouldn't move from the couch from time Gameday came on air until the Hawaii game ended at 3am. It just isn't the same and it doesn't mean as much to me as it used to.

This is the most troubling aspect. As an OU fan it just seems strange that a guy who is probably now the most legendary OU player in the history OU/Texas game bails on you after having been the hero in a game like that. This would have been unthinkable just a few years ago.
An earlier post talked about what it was like 40 years ago. I remember the 1978 National Champion Alabama team having nine offensive starters from the state of Alabama and the entire backfield was from Birmingham.
Hired guns is a pretty apt description of what we are having now. And we already have the NFL for that.
