Despite the evidence presented above but listening to other coaches (especially FCS) whose players have been basically bribed to leave, it seems to me there's actually a lot of illicit backdoor recruiting and tampering going on around the country. I'll be very glad if and when this Wild West atmosphere gets under control...if it ever does. Who's gonna bell that cat, though? No idea.

I think best for Stanford to forge ahead with whatever tools are available to field the best possible team, in this chaotic landscape, with no assumption that any one body will cleanly and comprehensively reign in the wild west atmosphere. 
Who would do such reigning in? Congress? NCAA? And whatever they tried not upended by another court case?
So I applaud bringing in Andrew Luck, boosting Lifetime Cardinal, and whatever else reasonable and possible, not waiting on someone to bring order to chaos.
