There is a reason most every college, and most athletic directors rail against oversigning. This isn't pro sports.
I guess I find the idea of promising a young man a college education to play football, only to yank his scholarship from him when I happen to recruit someone better than him at the same position is a little disreputable and immoral.
As far as which schools care most about football, I think a more appropriate gage of measuring this is how much a program spends on it's program, not how many loopholes a program can find. And also not how many educations a program renigs to student athletes.
According to Forbes, the top 3 biggest spending programs on college football were Ohio State, Alabama, and Notre Dame.
