This was in reference to the Reggie bush situation at USC where he gets away with no consequences and leaves the school taking the fall. This system would atleast hit the parties responsible and not the current students who had nothing to do with it. It’s completely unrealistic and never going to happen but I always liked his take on it.

I'll take solutions that sounds good on paper for $100, Alex.
That will accomplish absolutely nothing. If you've got parents with money, you're not going to accept the cash to play. If your family has no money, and you get $100K to play, you're going to spend it. All of it. Nothing left. So the big evil school who had no institutional control is left to send poor, underprivileged Jimmy to a collection agent and further ruin the family's already poor credit. Meanwhile the $500M endowment sends letters asking for more contributions.
Yeah, that'll play well in USAToday and Dateline.
