There is a no solicitation already. You cant recruit other teams players.
You aren't supposed to. Then again, you aren't supposed to pay players either but we all know it goes on. The same will happen here.

You'll also have to recruit your own players every year

Goes both ways though. There would be significant talent trickle down as well as up. Basically most teams better have a game plan that doesn't require your team to be super deep, because you probably won't have strong backups unless they are underclassmen.
Small teams may or may not be negatively affected. Yes they are going to lose some of their top end talent, but they will also have considerably more consistent rosters due to the talent trickling down as well as laterally.
For the SEC specifically, it would probably result in more competition. The benefit of transferring from one P5 team to another isn't worth the risk if you are already in a starting role. The biggest impact would be top teams losing some depth, guys buried in the depth chart at one school but good enough to play at another are going to make that move.

3.0 gap gets you immediate eligibility? I don't mind that.

If you're talking a player can leave after game 6 and play for someone else in game 7 then I'm against it.
If the player transfer prior to the season I see no problem with him playing the upcoming season similar to how we already have the rule for graduate transfers.

I would give up on football. There has to be some type of limits. I am good with transfers and sit a year. I am good with graduate transfers. I am good with allow transfers from January to May. But total free agency would damage the product.

So basically college football would actually become minor league NFL?

This sounds like College Football will have Off Season free agency, I don't really like this rule. It basically allows teams to still recruit players even after they enroll in the college they committed to.

So free agency is coming to college football. What could go wrong

I think there needs to be hard dates on transferring. Like July 1st for Football. Spring camps are done, and fall camps haven't started yet. If you're not finished transferring and enrolled for the fall at a new school, you're stuck that season. No mid-season transfers, or transferring in August right before the first games. I don't mind the immediate eligibility, especially for upperclassmen that just couldn't cut it at a major school. Maybe they want to go play in the MAC or Fun Belt just to get some playing time if they've been 3rd string on the depth chart for 3-4 years. It would also be a good idea to limit this to your first transfer. So you can transfer once and be eligible that season, but if you do it again, sit out a year. Sure there would be rare cases where you have a guy transfer out after a Soph season, then graduate and transfer under the graduate transfer rules, but those would be the exception. I have no issues with both of those cases being eligible immediately, because in the first case it would be under normal transfer rules, and the second after completing a degree.

Yes because boosters and $500 handshakes didn't happen before this. This moral indignation is pathetic especially since coaches can leave anytime. You guys sound the tools that think women shouldn't vote or work.

Is this a power play to force all schools to offer 4 year scholarships?
I'd be surprised if that wasn't a stipulation somewhere down the line

Just like every other Florida fan, you'd be bitching and moaning like a little girl if UF's best players started leaving to play for FSU, and rightfully so.
This is a ridiculous idea.

Alabama's recruiting budget is about to triple.

Maybe in the fairy tale world you live in where everyone in College Football is honest and the Gators are relevant. But in the Real World of College Football, you will have Coaches (or their contacts) actively recruiting players off bad teams (some still have good players), you will have Great Players who do not like being treated like a normal player, trying to take his ball to a coach who will suck his dick daily. You will see booster organizations actively trying to recruit player to their school or away from their rival schools.
The non-P5 schools will become a farm system for the P5 Programs.
