I think this is a really interesting topic.

I do agree that the best way to handle it is for the Power leagues to split off.

I would swell the ranks a little bit so that the competition wouldn't quite be so brutal from week to week. That and if you are strategic about choosing who gets in and who doesn't then you can mitigate some of the issues with recruiting.

That and I dare say reducing the scholarship limit again would help with that. Resources and geography play a big role so if you knock the limit down a little more then there is a trickle down effect. The reality is that there are already a ton of kids from the recruiting hotbeds who leave and go to programs in other regions simply because there isn't a spot for them at a more local school. That's not the only reason they leave, but it is true for some.
