As we consider how to reform the NCAA and college football, how about a proposal that the NCAA adopt a rule that the scholarship funding granted to a player be no greater than if he were an in-state recruit. That way, out of staters still have to pay the premium over in-state tuition. There would seem to be strong legal basis for this rule, it would make the teams roster more representative of the states they represent and would cut out all of this national recruiting that is pseudo-free agency for recruits.
The downside seems to be that bigtime sports states would reduce or eliminate a differential between in-state and out-of-state tuition but that would open the doors to non-athletes to attend these universities at low cost and create a budget crisis or an outcry from common students who saw their in-state tuition bloom to subsidize the out of state.
