If planning to play, come back home, Jack, and finish with a big year.

Not happening. It'd be good for us in the short term, but the long term effects would kill mid majors. If Jack were allowed to come back, mid major players would basically 'try out' for a high major program for a summer, stick around if given a scholarship, and if not, just return to their mid major with no consequence

I agree that the odds of Jack coming back are something akin to winning at powerball.

What I don't understand is how not taking Jack back would keep your scenario above from happening?

The NCAA would (I believe) have to grant Jack a special waiver to return to WM. If they did, there would be nothing stopping power conference teams from bringing in a handful of mid major 'transfers' every summer to give them a try out. If the mid major players weren't good enough for the power team, they would simply return to their old school with no repercussions.
