If we are going to treat college like this with NIL then they should be signing contracts that keep them at the school until they are released from their contracts.
Had this exact conversation the other day with someone who made the "well the coaches can leave whenever they want so the kids should to" argument. Coaches cannot "just leave" whenever they want to. If as a student athlete you sign a deal with a certain school or NIL booster, they should have to pay to buyout their contracts just Like Bama had to pay Washington for CKD's contract.
Wanna transfer? Your new school has to pay your buyout or you can foot the bill yourself. I wonder how many schools would be willing transfer destinations for kids if they had to pay a six figure buyout just to have the right to sign a new NIL deal with a 3rd receiver.
Wanna be treated like grown ups/employees? Fine. But you take the hard pills to swallow along with the easy ones.

I'm already souring on college sports. Won't be long before I don't care any more just like the athletes. The term student athlete is a joke now. I wouldn't mind them setting up something for the athletes for after they graduate. It is a billion dollar business and the coaches and the universities profit at the physical detriment of the athlete sometimes but the way it is now is not beneficial to the long term stability of college athletics. Why watch that when the pros aren't any different. Except a pro can't just walk out and leave if they are under a contract. So much is wrong with how this is currently set up.

That’s the risk you take signing kids out of high school to influence the decision on where they play ball at. The spirit of the rule is that it’s not supposed to influence their decision. They’re also prob one year deals that have escalator clauses that go up every year a player stays.
