re: Scholarship limits need to increase in college football

I've never seen an age of football where high school recruits are more committed to just a few elite programs. Recruits in the upper 4 and 5* label can't wait to get to the hottest brand on the market, today. It doesn't seem to matter much who they rooted for growing up and what state they were raised. It's a "business decision," we hear over and over. The reason college football has gotten so top-heavy, now, more than ever, is that elite recruits go to all of the same elite camps, talk each other into the same few programs and soon most 5 stars are in just a few places.

Given that phenomenon alone, Alabama has been the greatest benefactor of this new age football. 25/85 only accentuates the penthouse from the outhouse. Until coach Saban leaves, I'm good with the haves and have-nots.
