When you sign a letter of intent you shouldn’t be able to jump ship and transfer to another team within the same conference Willy Nilly.

The National Letter of Intent is a contract, and its requirements haven’t changed - if the player doesn’t complete an academic year at the school they signed with, they have wait a year after transferring (or enrolling elsewhere) before they can compete and they lose a year of eligibility.

Those rules haven’t changed. But the NLI only applies for the player’s first academic year.

There has to be rules imagine if in the NFL if any year of your contract you can just say bye I’m going to another team cause I feel like it.Coaches and players are not the same in any sport

I didn’t check to see who you are replying to, but my guess is that you’re countering the argument that coaches leave all the time.

One of the ironic things here is that in the NFL, head coaches can’t just leave mid-contract to become head coach for another NFL team. I’ve never really understood the NFL comparisons when people argue this point. So college players should be held to the same standard as NFL players, but college coaches shouldn’t be held to the same standards as NFL coaches?

I’m not saying I support immediate transfer eligibility for players - I don’t. But I don’t think it makes sense to just give coaches a free pass either.
