2) Have news stories break about who is applying for what job.  Saying "Word in Morgantown is pdpat1 is applying for the open position".  This would let players see who they are up against and who they beat out.
No, this is bad. If you wanted to show it afterwards, sure, no harm. But seeing it up front is not good, for obvious reasons.

3) You should get more real dollars for making the tournament in D1 than DII and DIII.  Winning the D1 championship should be the pinnacle and should have the highest real payout.  This would drive more players to D1 if they really wanted to see a solid return.
Disagree. It's already $20K per NT game. How much more do you want it to be? And making it more would only help the big conferences.

4) Different levels of scouting services you can buy.  If you want to pay a lot more money to find out a players potential you should have that option.
This I agree with and shouldn't be that hard. I think it should be DI only though.

6) More volatility/stability on the coaching front.  If you have coached a team for 10 years and have taken them to the tournament 8 out of ten years that should carry a lot of weight.  It should take multiple bad seasons before you get fired.
Well, it's already nearly impossible to get fired, so I wouldn't want anything that would make it even more difficult.

But if you take the job at Duke and struggle for the first 2-3 years then you get fired quickly.
This I agree with -- easier to get fired in the BCS conferences. Can't make it just a couple seasons -- you have guys taking over hopeless, sim-coached situations and that's not enough time. But they should make it more common to get fired in the BCS conferences.
