You fix it by having a high school draft because these kids do not want to go to college to learn in the first place and the whole thing has been a ruse for decades.
Close. Regardless of whether it is a ruse or not you're not going to be able to dictate ONE school where a kid can play ball. I see something more along the lines of a talent cap of sorts. If you could create a workable system of consensus ratings for high school seniors you could put a cap on how many 5-star, 4-star, and 3-star kids a school could sign each year.
Why this could work:
1. No NIL limits - so consistent with SCOTUS ruling
2. A 5 star kid still has the opportunity to go to any school that recruits him (within their cap limit), similar to now.
3. Added bonus - brings some measure of parity to college ball.
Why this might not work:
1. Saban would hate it (using him as the face of all major programs that consistently recruit well).
2. How deep do you go? Just P5?
3. How to come up with consensus rankings.

There's a way you can do it.
You have a high school draft. If a kid wants to bypass that he can, but he can't play sports at the university of his choice for a year.
That puts a big fork in the road for a HS kid that wants to get paid. Do I go to Oregon now and get to the NFL in 3 years or do I wait, go to Bama and not see the field until next year?
