Scholarship limits have helped the sport.  I look at players and don't think the drug testing is all that effective.

I hate scholarship limits.  Things were so much easier for Texas back in the 60s. :)

Scholarship limits are a much bigger change than anything that could be done with drug testing because drug testing will always be evenhanded.  Ie, it will impact all schools the same way.  Scholarship limits, as @utee94 (https://www.cfb51.com/index.php?action=profile;u=15) 's post references dramatically leveled the playing field between the haves and have-not's.  I realize that it still isn't a very level field but imagine if the haves had 200 kids on scholarship.

I still don't comprehend what I'm voting for.
Which is the bigger change? 
or
Which rule I like more?

I don't think it was ever made explicit but I've been voting for what I think is the bigger change all along.

I've been voting for the one I like more.

Like always, I don't really set how you have to vote.

Scholarship Limits - Bigger change.
Drug Testing - Rule I like more.

If we don't know what we are voting for then the results are also undefined.

Without scholarship limits, we'd still have the Big 2 and little howevermany. So yeah, scholarship limits gets my vote.

We never have them.  People have always voted for the better, or the one they liked more, or the more important, etc...  It's not to be taken seriously, it's just to be used as a conversation piece over the summer.
