And if my aunt was a man she'd by my uncle. If is the only word that matters in this or your original post. Currently, as NCAA rules permit, we have 1 spot.

The NCAA is not gonna allow 2 of its big 5 conferences to be ravaged and not be able to recover. It's nonsensical to think otherwise. Sure some top kids are going to transfer and that their right but the NCAA isn't gonna change the initial counters rule, for 1 year, and allow 26 schools to be ravaged. Waivers will not be an issue, just space because of initial counters

For the argument that "kids can't be denied the right to play". I'm with you and agree, however, what about the kids who aren't highly sought after and have nowhere to play? Don't they have the right to play as well? Can't they sue that they're being discriminated against? You bet your arse they can. College footballs version of the participation trophy. The NCAA can't rule that supply and demand dictates who can and cannot play. Also have to understand that 85 limits aren't gonna be changed for those that can play, so again some will be left out against their choosing. Not gonna work.
What happens to the players on teams that are playing that have worked for 2,3,4 years to "earn" their spot on the team? Are they expected to sit around and not play because a transfer took their spot? They can't transfer and be immediately eligible because they are transferring from a playing school so not exempt.
What happens to team unity when a staff decides to bring in a few transfers a month before the season, that put in little to no work with the team and then take spots from friends and "family" within the program? You think the kids on the team are really gonna go for that? If you do, you know nothing of the team concept nor been in a locker room as a part of a team. How would parents of recruits feel about a coach that has just shown he really doesn't care about your kids? A perceived better one comes along and your kid is thrown away like trash. Not a good look.
Back to the ravaging. Say all above is just ignored and the NCAA allows total immunity, expand rosters and give all immediate eligibility. Say 10 players per school not playing transfer to play now. That's 260 players that need to be replaced on rosters, in a single year, on top of the roughly 500 per year that are brought in any way. There's not enough quality kids to fill those spots.
It's even more nonsensical if you use a school like Ohio ST. Their kids are gonna be highly sought after, meaning that they could lose half(or more) of their roster in a single year with no way to replenish them. You can't open the can of worms and allow them to take 40-50 recruits in a single year nor would they want to.
In short if you want college football as we know it to cease to exist, open it up and allow anarchy. You won't like the results.
