"The coach has GOT to win; he's got to get the best players, and their moral underpinnings often are the odd factor out."
Coaches and administrators should not be so quick to give into the "win at any cost" mentality. We fans should not either. Remember, these are supossed to be "student-athelets", not a pack of hired studs.
I am a strong supporter of making all schools with a less than 75% graduation rate (over at least five years) banned from all post season play - in all sports. Otherwise college competition will remain the sham that it is now at many of the "top" schools. What was the graduation rate for the "sweet 16" teams over the last five years, not to mention the BCS bowl teams?

You have good ideas.
There is SO much money involved I wouldn't look for any significant changes from the NCAA. Some of the rules they have now are under attack in the courts.
