The reasons are pretty much what I thought they'd be: multi-million dollar athletics programs over the student-athletes.

Dude….these players are now making bank on top of getting an education free.  
 

the system has to work for both sides.  After the past few years with NIL and the portal, your comment is laughable.

Go ahead and compare the "bank" being made by the players vs the athletic dept. Thinking that is at all even is what's laughable.

Regardless, players should be allowed to transfer just as much as any other college student IMO. And letting an incredibly inept institution like the NCAA make these determinations is just the cherry on top of the stupidity.

They aren’t normal college students.

Nobody is stopping them from transferring. The rule is just preventing them from playing.

A professional athlete can’t just move to wherever team they want…whenever they want. There are rules and guidelines within the sport

If a professional athlete reaches free agency by years of service or just being a non drafted free agent and wants to take on the risk of signing a series of 1 year contracts, they absolutely can move every year if another team wants them.

If the same rule was applied to coaches transferring teams or schools transferring conferences, then at least it would be fair. Still stupid but fair.

I agree with you here.  It’s silly that coaches are allowed to break contracts and leave for another school whenever they want and coach right away, but a student athlete only gets one chance to do the same.

Just like a grad transfer. No problem with that.  

 
It is just weird that the magic number is 1.

Why?  No one can make sense of that.

You get 5 years to play, why only get guys transfer without sitting out 1 time.

In the end all you have to ask yourself is this.  If it was YOU or your KIDS and you/they signed to play with School X and they hated, so the transferred, then they go to school Y and the coach is a d!(k to them, maybe even nasty and rude and demeaning...so they want to transfer. 

Would you be like "No no Junior, just tough it out, pay your dues and MAYBE in 3 years you might get to play"

Of course not.
