Given how football schedules are made some years out, I've always thought that allowing players to transfer to a school that isn't in the same conference or on the non-conference schedule during the remaining eligibility of the player would be fair.

Restrict players but not coaches?

from transferring to future opponents? Would you treat football different from other sports in that regard?

I meant it more as a compromise

I wouldn't restrict it, but I think there would be a lot less whining from the coaches if that were the case.

Coaches are restricted by contracts. *

Contracts usually include a buyout

Coaches (or often their new employer) can and will pay the buyout. Student-athletes don't have that option.
