[QUOTE="Hoppy2105, post: 1470152, member: 9835"] That would be great if everyone got on board and treated the commitments like you say they should. (Oh what a world that would be!) Unfortunately, what your idea does is take all the power and give it to the students. Currently, all (or the vast majority) of the power is with the schools/coaches, so that’s not good either, but knee jerking all the way to the other side would simply create a host of different issues, subjectively stupid waiver approvals, and the grinding of our collective gears. Can you imagine during a coaching change, when 10 dudes decide to transfer out, Illinois has to go into the next year with only 75 scholarships to offer? What if 59 are already accounted for and our first class can only be 16 players? Then the normal 3-5 players leave each year after that? It would be very tough to win or build a program under those circumstances. (And we, especially, need NO handicapps) It feels like this hypothetical just goes too far the other way. IMO ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ [/QUOTE]
