Seeing all of the "What else could Desmond do?" and "I think the Hawks will beat Michigan- remember '08 Penn St!" posts gave me inspiration for an idea I think would take college football to another level:
====================
Dear NCAA,
With the success of the wildly popular "Graduate Transfer" program, I propose that it's time to take the logical next step.
I therefore give you the "Alumni Recall Program" (ARP).
Under this program, each member institution's football program would be permitted, at a frequency of 1 time per season, to "recall" 1 former player for their offense and 1 for the defense. Said player would have eligibility for only that season, and would not be eligible for additional recalls (the intent is NOT to field an All-Time team, but to allow each team to be supplemented by 2 alums each season).
Thank you for your consideration
====================
Years from now you'll look back and think "It seems so obvious now- why didn' t anybody think of this sooner?"
Anyway, think what that would do for Iowa!
Upgrade the D w/ a Mitch King (woohoo 08 Penn St !) or Ballard for the interior, or a Greenway / Edds. I know you could also say Sanders / Considine, but the front 7 needs more help.
Then get a Scherff / Bulaga, or maybe a McNutt (sadly even ARP can't provide a dominant burner at this position for Iowa) for the O.
Thoughts?
