Once conclusion these sources had I found surprising--they think FCS and lower end P5 schools will be the hardest hit by the change. I would think the G5 would be the hardest hit in terms of losing star power.

I can see that. If you are a player who emerges from 2 star to 4 star playing at say Temple, Troy or Utah State, you'll transfer to a B1G, SEC or P12 school to be seen as an elite player for the NFL. SJSU lost Brandon Clarke to Gonzaga in Basketball, so yeah I see that type of transfer in Football coming.

But I still support it. I think players, just like regular students, should be able to change their school in hopes of improving their professional careers to follow. The restrictions are artificial attempts to control players for the benefit of coaches who recruit them out of HS -- like being trapped in a record contract that only benefits the producer.

Freedom of movement is long overdue and every player's right.

I dont really care if they do it---they just need to think it out. Transfers are going to become FAR more common if there is no penalty. So, you need to allow schools losing kids to transfer to reclaim those lost scholarships in the current year so they can quickly rebuild their numbers. So, if you lose 4 kids to transfer, you now have 29 scholarships to give that year instead of 25. If you lose 26 players after a coach leaves---you'd have 51 scholarships to give that year (subject to the 85 total scholarship cap of course). A rule like this is going to be incredibly important at schools where a coach gets poached and the team suffers a mass exodus of players. Thats going to happen fairly regularly I suspect.
