Aside from "I feel entitled to my favorite team being good", what reason is there to restrict where a teenager can pursue his football career and college education based on nothing more than how good he is according to a recruiting website?


With the 85 Scholarship limit and the 25 yearly cap, student athletes are already restricted in where they can go. I'm sure if it were still allowed, Bama would sign 50 kids every year.

Which is already wrong IMO, but that is simply a blanket, objective rule that only considers numbers. A "talent cap" would be the NCAA telling Johnny 5 Star from Atlanta that he has to go to Georgia Tech because according to a couple of recruiting websites Clemson, Alabama, and Georgia are already maxed out on their talent allotments. Nevermind the fact that recruiting website rankings change constantly. I mean does that kid suddenly get to sign with Alabama if one of our commits has a mediocre senior season and gets dropped from #60 overall to #108? What happens if a dude who commits to Clemson as a 3* junior blows up as a senior and ends up as a 5* in the final 247 rankings? Does that kid suddenly no longer get to sign with the school he has been committed to for over a year because he's too good now? It's just so unbelievably stupid.
