Not if they didn't also make the 'free transfer' thing permanent at the same time as the rise of the NIL deal providing straight up financial incentive to jump programs.
I liked the idea of letting kids transfer out if/when their coach gets fired. That seems eminently reasonable. I don't even mind some sort of accomodation for NIL deals. But I wish they'd have been run through the the schools via a stipend of some sort.
Letting businesses/boosters really just buy players by working with their 'advisors' and getting into bidding wars is just really bad for college sports. It's essentially the same as making every player in one of the 4 major sports leagues a FA every season and then removing any sort of salary cap.
