I would propose that, rather than lock it, penalize the Academic Prestige of colleges which consistently recruit players who have poor academics (I've always assumed awareness = academics, but perhaps a separate GPA factor for all recruits that's more likely to be higher for lower caliber players). Schools with higher academic prestige could be set to, depending on the coach's recruiting style (and/or the Athletic Director), always recruit student-athletes first, ignore academics and try to build the program by any means possible, or fall somewhere in the middle. If this variable were tied to coaches, perhaps a CPU-controlled coach could switch their recruiting philosophy mid-dynasty if he felt like he was on the hot seat.
