I hear what you're saying and I agree with you, but the reality is the really talented athletes haven't paid for a thing in a long time. It's not fair, but college football really has nothing to do with college and everything to do about winning at any cost.
what if we just rcruit 3 stars who want to play football. Let the other schools fight for these prima donnas like eli ricks, He will transfer again if saban looks at him crossways. they need to go back to sit out a year to transfer or maybe 2 years.
I wish we could do that, but the reality is you can't win NCs with 3 stars. Some of these top recruits are very overrated, but you have to take a gamble and hope enough prove to be as good as advertised. Coaches get paid to win and they put up with a lot of crap from certain players, if they know they need them to win. Not right, but it's the reality of college football today!
I've really taken a liking to women's gymnastics... and LSU has a very good team. Want to talk about athletes, those girls are true athletes! And they look great in their outfits!
