I think it needs some tweaking, but it is still possible to maintain a top program even with EEs. In Tark, I had one opening with my A+ Georgia Tech program, and had one guy that looked like he was going to go EE. I filled my opening in the first session with a 5 star player, the #3 player in the country. Albeit I had to battle and could have lost the battle. But I spent most of the first session building up credit on a 5 star ineligible guy out of North Carolina, the #22 player in the country. My guy ended up not turning pro, so I never did have to get him, but I kept pouring my 20 AP into him in the second session. He went 2 days before he got taken, so had I lost my player, I would have signed him as well. There are extreme cases though, and I may be facing one with my Illinois team, where I have one opening, but 5 guys on the draft board - 3 on the fence and 2 likely staying. If they all leave, I will be in serious trouble. But, it's part of the risk you take when filling your roster with top guys. It would be nice if they declared early, even if the resources were not allocated until the second session, so I would know what I am looking at. Or, perhaps, there could be a limit of 2 EEs per team, but I don't know if I like the arbitrary cap. You also still get the prestige bump, so that is a definite advantage when they go. Incidentally, one of the guys on the fence and ranked #15 is a freshman. I have never seen a freshman turn pro, so I am hoping this does not happen. He is 923 overall as a freshman, so he is definitely very good, and in real life he'd definitely be a candidate to go after one year.
