I get what you are saying but allowing open transfers would be total mayhem.

Say you are Tulane and you get a diamond in the rough at RB who blows up as a sophomore and runs for 1500 yards and 15 TDs. With open transfers, that kid can now go to Bama or LSU or Clemson or whoever without a second thought.

How are teams supposed to compete if their best players can leave at the first sign of success?

On the flip side, how is a team like LSU supposed to have depth if every 4 star can transfer the second they don't win the starting job.

Open transfers just isn't a viable plan. At least not without completely changing College football as we know it.
