Not a chance.
The NCAA is virtually nothing about the student athlete. They represent and are run by the universities, who employ the football, basketball...baseball coaches at great expense. They will never, ever enact something that levels the playing field like this unless there is an uprising of parents and players...and that too, will never happen.
Parents/players go through this once. They/we are so eager to have our sons and daughters get that offer, make that commitment, tell our family and friends, announce it in the newspaper or on a recruiting website...that there will never be enough of us in that 'commitment phase' that can see the realities of the situation and demand changes.
And its not going to happen out of the goodness of the NCAA's hearts.
