College athletes are adults with a particular talent and only a 4-6 year window in which to use it. I don't blame any player who explores whether his current school is the best
place for him. It's fine for coaches to interview for other jobs and either take them or extort a few million more out of their employers. That's apparently not bad for the game, but if a player refuses to treat his head coach like a feudal lord, the system can't possibly survive. (To add to the hypocrisy, these same coaches will accept transfers who will help their programs, but the players who leave their programs have deficient character).

Is it a hassle for coaches? Yes. That's what the money's for, assholes.

Athletic directors with balls can fix this by telling their coaches that while they don't have to hold a scholarship for players in the portal, they aren't allowed to cut them simply for considering a transfer.
