This proposed change is going to hurt the smaller schools, not just G5, even smaller p5 schools. The transfer portal is also hurting high school seniors, because schools are now holding on a spot for transfer or two.

To me, the issue should be what's best for the athletes, not the schools.

And transfers have worked both ways. E.g., SMU was able to build a 10-win team last year by smartly courting transfers from P5 schools. You have to remember, most P5 recruits were big stars in high school and many will be unhappy when they arrive on campus and it turns out they are now third on the depth-chart at the B1G or SEC school they signed with. Some will definitely decide that starting at Tulane or San Diego State is better than sitting on the bench at Tennessee or Oklahoma State. There has in fact been a lot of P5 to G5 movement.
