There have always been guys that fall off of rosters at every school and never play again. I'm not going to get outraged about it now because there is a list they can add their name to.

Not worth the paper its written on. Ask ND, ULL, or Oklahoma if their prior coaches under contract are still there.

Explain how and why this should be different for an athlete versus a coach?
Why do people say dumb stuff like this?
Coaches have a pathway to leave written into their contracts. What are they not honoring?
Their “commitment” includes the procedure to leave.
What are you taking about?
Btw currently athletes have no parameters.
Coaches actually have more parameters because they have to follow their contract clauses.

Less freedom and more regulation?
Yes, absolutely. Unregulated capitalism in the world of sports is a recipe for disaster and will lead to the failure of the sport. No professional sport tries to do it that way.....they are socialist in reality. People shouldn't clench their asses around political labels when talking about 'sports'.

Im personally all for a kid transfering if he or she wants, but if the rule was amended that if you transfer before your RS JR or SR year you had to sit a year I think it would cut down on all this indiscriminate transferring. What do you guys think?
This is interesting. I almost see it in the reverse: If a player joins a program that turns out to be a bad fit, pull the ripcord ASAP and get to a better place. If you stay, you understand that you're locked in and building toward a strong jr/sr class. I could probably make either argument...

Why are you so certain their decisions aren’t calm and reasoned? You’re just lazily assuming they can’t make sound decisions because of their age. You have no idea what they’re thinking or what goes into these big decisions but you know better anyway.
You kinda sound like an a-hole.

I mean, there are parameters. They’re written in black and white in the NCAA Division 1 Manual.
The difference is just that people don’t agree with the parameters in place for the athletes.
Everybody gets all pissy when someone brings up the coaching argument but it’s not exactly wrong. If players had the same deal structure as coaches, then another school could just pay out the rest of their “contract” (however you want to define that for hypothetical purposes.. scholarship + NIL agreements?) and hire the kid away to be eligible the following year. That doesn’t sound too far removed from where we stand today.
This kind of coaching carousel is somewhat unique to college. In the NFL, teams can’t poach coaches from other teams for a lateral move - unless the current team agrees to allow the coach to interview. There are no such restrictions in CFB, at least not in any form that can actually outright block a coach from taking a job with another team.
I don’t like the immediate transfer eligibility either, but it’s absolutely true that we give college head coaches a pass on the same thing. I don’t really get why people act like it’s completely absurd to bring that disparity up.
