It's not preventing them from transferring, they just have to sit out a year.
I still dont think its in the best interest of the student.
If they have to sit a year, does that mean theyre no on scholarship for the year? If so, many won't be able to continue their enrollment/eductaion during that period. (which could also affect their health insurance, but that issues a tangent).
If they are on scholarship, practicing with the team, and just not allowed to play, that unnecessarily exposes them to an extra year of potential injury without oppurtunity for a pro contract.

If a student-athlete requests a transfer, and applies for a hardship waiver that ends up getting denied, can they still go back to their original school and play under full scholarship? If the transfer and have to sit out a year, do they still get the benefits of the scholarship? Tuition/room/board all paid for while they are sitting out?
