Why? Because Barack Obama just took over legislating college football recruiting. Yes, it is time for Alabama, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Georgia, Miami, and Southern Cal to be "fare" and "patriotic". According to the recruiting experts, these schools were the best recruiters in the country last year. So it is time to give up half your stable. These 6 schools represent 5% of the 120. What happened was that they had to give up 50% of the recruits from 2008 and put them in a draft for the bottom recruiting schools to choose from. San Jose State got 14 players and the other poor schools got 13. Here are some notables from the day.

Terrelle Pryor is now the QB at Buffalo, Julio Jones is now catching passes for San Jose State, Tyler Love is now blocking for Richard Samuel at Western Kentucky, A.J. Green is still the best WR in college football, just playing at Northern Illinois, MarcusFortson is stuffing the run at Utah State, and Matt Kalil just set the New Mexico State University career pancake block record of 2 after 7 games.

The sad news is that in 2009 we have to refer to the rich schools as the Cayman Island Crimson Tide, the Afganistan Fighting Irish (which is fine with me), the Mexico City Hurricanes (to ease the language barrier), the Ontario Buckeyes, and the Georgia (Russia) Bulldogs because they have taken their business out of the country. Southern Cal will remain in L.A. because they think it is fare.

A few years of this and there will be no more recruit ranking for 2 reasons. The rich conferences don't want to lose there good players and we don't want to hurt the 3 star guys feelings for not being a 4 star.
