The presidents and coaches are never going total free agency on transfers. Grad transfers have been and are free, proven hardships are free. Going forward, if your coach leaves for any reason a player can transfer without sitting out a year. Free otherwise would result in all the great programs stealing the best players from the less than great programs. Not going to happen. Also, if anybody did a actual study of the money available, very few schools have a huge surplus of money for athletes. They already get a stipend and a half million dollar scholarship. Lets take the Gophers, how much money was left after revenue minus expenses. If it was 2 million, how do you cover 100 football players, cover woman's athletes. Are there 500 athletes ? That means 4000 per in the year you make money. You would have to pay every woman athlete equally. This will not happen, Presidents will never go for it.
