1. You get 5 years to play 4 after high school. Period. No exceptions.
2. 1 free transfer then you have to sit a year unless your coach leaves
3. If you ever play professionally, you cant play in college- this includes overseas.
Common sense.

Why exclude professional sports? Hell, collegiate sports is pro sports these days since NIL! The entire system is BROKE! Universities need to collectively, or at least the NON-BLUBLOODS, withdraw from the current NCAA and create a true amateur college league and start over! Yeah I know, too much money involved and everybody wants their share. Greed eventually ruins everything!

Yep but the legal system derails common sense.

I think they're going to have to add an age limit. Freshman, sophomore, junior, etc. is too vague.
The problem is if a guy wants to come back to school and the NCAA says no the school just goes to some local judge who says that they can play. This is beyond a NCAA issue. They are trying to enforce their rules and can't.

We put dumbasses in charge. Always happens. Common sense folks rarely get the jobs that make the decisions.

Judges in courts make all the rulings. Common sense doesn't mean jack and the NCAA has been made powerless.

This could actually work if enough schools did it. Then the top ones that sold their soul would be on the outside looking in with a product no one wants.

How about no rules, so long as you can pretend to be some kind of enrolled student and someone is willing to pay you, play on. Or maybe Micheal Jordan just wants to play college ball and he pays himself.
Who really cares, it's all fake anyway

The NCAA and colleges have been running slave labor with the keys to the NFL castle forever. They 17d this up when they wouldn?t allow the colleges to pay them 10% of their proceeds for their sport. That is all it would have taken.
I hate the free transfer as much as the next guy for personal reasons, but any student can transfer to any school they are accepted by at anytime. Why not sports players? I would argue the 3 year rule to turn pro is also bullcrap. Hell I can drop out and go pro at anytime when I was a student.

You couldnt dropout and become a doctor without going to medical school first. And no, any student couldnt go to 4 different schools in 4 years without their transcript being a mess. Also, athletes can transfer a million times if they want, but they doesnt mean they should have the privilege of playing college football.
Also, slave labor? Dramatic much? Im not against athletes sharing in the revenue. Im against the things I stated in my original post.

If only you declared after 1 year to be a pharmacist. My daughter wouldn’t have had to go an extra 6 years

This kind of thinking is why so many things are a mess in all kinds of things.
No one has taken away their freedom - they can leave any time they want and make whatever money they think they can earn. Students can too but they can't just leave go to another school and make them accept them and get that degree in medicine or engineering or whatever.
There are guidelines in all of life institutions to control chaos and deliver quality for society.
Who going to go to the surgeon that got his degree from a community college and decided he needed to get paid so he just started his own medical practice?
They got to play college ball for a free education and a chance and something bigger when they finished. That is what all college kids do but regular folks have to pay for it. Guess what they are also the ones that pay for the college sports. The millions and even billions it takes to run these organizations ain't free either.
Lastly, no amount of money is ever enough; people are greedy and always want more. That is why the transfer thing out of control. 10% ain't enough. They want more and more and more.

And student athletes have always had the same right to transfer at any time as any regular student and could even immediately be put on athletic scholarship, just had to sit out a year in terms of sports eligibility. And it was a good rule, to have some drawback to the out of control transfers we have today. And regular academic students do not transfer 3 and 4 times as undergrads while trying to earn a degree. If they did, it would take them 6 years to get a degree they could have gotten in 4 at the same place. Too many issues on what classes are required and what classes transfer from one institution to another for any particular degree. But that's a huge part of the problem, the student athletes of today, make that athletes of today, have little to no interest about earning their degree and apparently a big percentage of them don't even attend the classes they are enrolled in. Its all about what money I can make today while getting to the draft. Heck, its been years since ANY athlete I'm aware of was ruled academically ineligible anywhere. Just enroll them, put em on the team and play them, and roll them on through until they leave or enter the draft. Its a farce.

4. And if you sign a contract you have to honor it. Do all due diligence before signing !!!
