Once a kid graduates I think they've earned the right to spend that last year wherever they want to go.


Why?

I think they've fulfilled their obligation to receive the benefits they got and earned the right to move on if they so please without penalty for a final year.

I understand not allowing them to go to an opponent in that next year for all the reasons mentioned by others above. I think that is reasonable as well.

I won't speak for SummerofGeorge but I am not aware of any other circumstance where an undergraduate institution can limit a person's graduate school options. I don't think football is special enough to qualify it being the exception. If the kid participates in spring ball then I could be down with that, but if they transfer early or sit out I don't see the issue.

Sauron raised points about the underhanded that might take place, I don't think we can be naive as to think there aren't a billion underhanded things already taking place. Coaches changing jobs and stealing information I would think is way more damaging than grad transfers.

Generally I just think it is an overreaction, there are very few guys who are not playing at power 5 D1 program who will immediately slide in at another. Most of them are not playing for a reason.
