I am all for the kids getting paid and all for them being able to transfer. I think a good rule would be for freshmen to sign two year contracts with the school that gives them an option for a third year? They can transfer if the coach leaves. Players would receive a predetermined salary and legitimate NIL for two seasons and then be able to go to the highest bidder if they choose.
The step between the current situation and what I describe is unionization and collective bargaining as well as solving the state by state issue of employment vs independent contracting.
