Legally you can do that without collective bargaining. My hope is that we go to a collective bargained system were incoming freshman are only eligible to receive full scholarships with a cost of attendance stipend that is the average for all the universities in the state the college resides in. After their freshman year they are eligible to transfer but two year contracts are available to them at that time. So you can transfer get another one year athletic scholarship with stipend or get a two year binding contract. Only medical redshirts are available for under contract players. And their contracts can be extended for a third year on the year but the university is only obligated to at least give them full scholarship on the back end of a contract impacted by a medical redshirt year. Once you transfer at the end of a contract you have to have 2 years of eligibility left to match the contract. So a senior with 2 years of eligibility left cannot be released to be a "free agent" graduate student athlete under contract. Either they payback the value of the remaining contract or they can be released at the discretion of the university. I would go on with a few more minor details for graduate situations but already find this tedious. Thank you GREEDY FBS MAFIA. 😂
