[QUOTE="Halo, post: 1100111, member: 4316"]
We can figure out the market value for all the rest of the employees at the university, and every other job in this country, but figuring out how to pay 100 football and basketball players causes all economic theory to collapse...weird.  If boosters are willing to pay for a recruit, then it's because that recruit has value.

At the end of the day, there are roster size limits, so the talent still gets dispersed.  We don't recruit against Alabama anyway and they already get the top kids.  Teams still will pass on the Chandler and Art Jones' of the world because they already do that now.

The top schools already get the top kids.  If anything, it might give some small privates with wealthy donors to gain an advantage like SMU back in the day.  If you really want to make things fair, make the TV $'s equal among all the schools and limit the roster size to 75.  Then a trickle down effect will happen when each school can't sign as many players as they currently do, leaving those 10 extra guys that normally would be with Bama, to have to go somewhere else.
