I realize it's not your job to come up with one, but what's the solution here though?
You can't really extend the years, owning a players rights for 5 (plus one past senior year) years seems like too much.
It would be amazing if they could sign contracts during school years, but the NCAA would never allow that. Would delaying the signing bonus for College guys get around that? Probably not.
