But why would a coach do that when money is so hard to come by when and you can only have 27 scholarship guys?

Is it a way to get better players to committ?

I am not familiar with these conferences as much as here in the east. There are so many good players trying to get into ACC and SEC programs why would any coach make this offer unless he badly needed better players to compete against other conferences?

This isn't a decision the coaches are making, rather the conference is implementing this change:
