Do away with the limit...let each school make a decision on what they care to spend..the Boise States, etc. are nuts if they think they really are competing with the SEC, ND, tOSU..etc. The students(sic) can decide if they want to be #100 at Alabama or #2 at Purdue etc. I actually think the limits increase the urge to cheat..

And because of title 9 it won't happen. And I believe that is a fed regulation not a ncaa buy I could be wrong. And I know that's been hashed out here quite a number of. Times

Excellent point. At first I considered that the rich would just get richer if there were no scholarship limits again...but when you consider schools like 'Bama find ways around it already by using large numbers of "medical hardships" and using other various means to boot players that don't measure up to their standards...they basically are already circumventing the 85 scholarship limit. I'd love to see all schools adopt the 4 year scholarship, but schools would still find loopholes I'm sure to remove some players and bring in fresh meat.

Early playing time and early exits: The dilemma of LSU's recruiting strategy

Les Miles made the proclamation on Wednesday with a mix of pride and resignation. “We do lead college football,” the LSU coach said, “in three‑and‑outs.”

Since winning the SEC title and playing for the national title in the 2011 season, 21 Tigers have forfeited their remaining college football eligibility to enter the NFL draft. Those aren’t all juniors who played as true freshman and left after three seasons on campus. A few of those players redshirted and left after their fourth season. But all left LSU eligibility on the table. The Tigers do lead the nation in that category since the 2012 NFL draft. And it isn’t even close. SEC West rival Alabama is second with 10. Florida State, Stanford and USC are tied with nine. On one hand, the number indicates that LSU has had a lot of talented players. On the other, it means LSU has remained perpetually young while most of its peer programs have occasionally enjoyed the benefits of solid veteran leadership.

So how did LSU wind up losing more than twice as many early departures as anyone else? The obvious reason is that Miles and his staff have recruited good players. Most of the decisions to leave Baton Rouge weren’t ill-advised. Of the 21, 17 players were drafted. Fourteen of them were drafted in the first three rounds. But Miles believes there is an attitude within the program that causes some players to jump earlier than they should. He thinks it began with Stevan Ridley, who was selected in the third round (No. 73 overall) by the Patriots in 2011 and played his way into a starting job by the 2012 season. “Suddenly,” Miles said, “everyone at LSU knew they could start and play for years and make all the money.”
