Like height and 40 times. They're useful to a point, but you probably don't want to be like the Raiders of old and draft exclusively on 40 times.

Additionally the top schools have so many applicants that they can pick minority candidates that aren't very different on paper than their white/Asian counterparts. The numeric gaps open up more as you stray away from the top.

Personally I'd like to see the federal government threaten to remove tax benefits on endowments unless schools reduced tuition, scaled up aid, or increased enrollment if they're sitting on the kind of money ND or wealthier schools have. "Winning" in the college arms race has become so divorced from societal aims that we need to change the system's incentives.
