This is a fantastic point. Imagine a coach taking all 22 of his football starters to another school, or all 5 baskeball starters. The incoming coach could do the same thing, but what a **** show.
New transfer rules

I would think there would have to be a deadline for transfers before the upcoming season.
You just know there will be fallout after spring football practices every year though, with guys who didn't move up the depth chart looking at their options.
There are probably going to always be some kids who want to stay at their original school, but I could definitely see a coach taking their QB with them or a star RB.
Basketball will definitely be more of a problem with just a few star players making a team great.
You take 4-8 of your skill / top players off a 22 man FB roster & fill in the holes with kids from the school you're moving to...that's a major upgrade.
What would Montgomery do for a program? Add a few other skill players and our DT, Lanning, & Cotton-Moya...that's a game changer...or at least it's been for Iowa State.
I think this will end up hurting the players in the long run. Transfer just because then getting into a bad situation. Get cut because it will be easier for a coach to recruit over you. Gutting marginal programs.
I think you’re being unfair. These sports have special rules because the athletes get special treatment and they generate revenue. There is a tremendous amount of risk for the school with these athletes and these sports, so it makes sense that they would create a bit more control over them.
It’s also very easy to have this attitude now but let’s say Prohm gets a new job in June, the recruits and wigginton and Lard all follow him to the new school. That would be utterly devastating for Iowa State basketball, and Iowa State has spent a significant amount of time and money investing in the recruitment and development of these players. Would that be “fair” for them to leave? I think a reasonable argument could be made that it’s not.
The problem with your scenario is that Franklin talking to a player currently on a team is still tampering. Tampering isn't going away.
You are absolutely right. As long as there is money in college athletics there will be tampering going on.

This is the biggest issue that would have to be addressed with some type of restriction. The new coach could run off a lot of back-ups to make room for the hoard of guys he could bring with him.

"The proposal authored by the faculty athletic representatives at Baylor and Iowa State has received early support."
Yeah...no restrictions...except this one restriction. Ha! Bang-up reporting there, Ace!
