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.
No, it would make teams offer the players that can really help them vs sending our 50 million offers to every kid in the top 300. What it would also do is eliminate the "Bama bump" that kids get when they commit to one of the top teams. In fact, teams WOULDN'T want their players to get that bump as it would hurt them the next recruiting cycle.
And it's not a stupid idea, it's an idea that would attempt to level the playing field for everyone except about 5 or 10 teams (at the max). It would prevent teams from signing all the 5*'s in a class simply to have them sit the bench for 3 years or enter the transfer portal after 2. It does require a paradigm shift in how we think about talent and talent evaluation when it comes to high school athletes.

Yeah...well...Arkansas and Texas once dominated the college football landscape. Nothing lasts forever.
That said, I do think it is more fun for everyone when more parity exists....so I'm for that.

You do understand that this would basically allow Rivals, 247, and ESPN to manipulate college football rosters right?

Giving an idiot like Mike Farrell the ability to dictate who various college football programs can sign is absolutely, unquestionably a stupid idea.

yeah. The ncaa is going to tell a kid where he can go to school. This, at a time when individual rights are more prevailing than ever before.
The ncaa might try to end athletic scholarships entirely, but telling a kid where he can go to school is never going to happen.
