Ok, to that end, here is a suggestion that would be a death sentence to the NCAA and would absolutely level the playing field:
1. At the end of each season, divide up all of the net profits (TV revenue) equally among all Div I teams.
2. Eliminate recruiting entirely. Hold 5-7 geographic "high school combines" around the country each year. After the last combine, hold a national draft day that includes every Div I school in the country. Draft order is based on your previous years' ending RPI. Draft who you want/need based on the number of scholarships you have available. The day after the draft, have one day that you can trade previous days' picks. After that, your roster is set and you are good to go. No walk-ons allowed. Player transfer rules stay the same as they are today. Boom! Level Playing Field. (All schools offer Discovery Arts and General Studies degrees, right?)
Day drinking is more productive than I thought!
