How? You offer a 4-year binding contract, and another school offers a year-to-year contract.
Most kids take the year to year in a heartbeat

This will work itself out after donors get burned a few times.

You mean those contracts where coaches have to pay the school a penalty if they leave early to go to another school? I can’t BELIEVE they haven’t thought of that yet.
Oh wait….

How will that help the player? They've already been drafted, they don't get to enter a new draft.

Yes.
The new team pays what would have been the next year of that players NIL deals to the old team.

4 year binding NIL contracts
Football scholarships are year to year. The coaches do not want that changed. They might would go to 2 but not 4

I think the buyouts that coaches pay when they change jobs is pretty much exactly what the OP is suggesting fir athletes who transfer.
ETA: Posters are conflating two different payments to student athletes; the revenue sharing money paid directly by the school and NIL contracts. I don’t think much can be enforced about the former, but the latter can definitely include transfer language in a contract. Whether players would balk at it is another issue.

I liked the simple, you can transfer if you graduate or you get ONE free portal trip. Other than that you have to sit out one season.

I hate to bust your bubble, but non-competes exist, million+ dollar contracts are not against an 18 year olds best interest, and collective bargaining happens in multiple sectors in the economy. You’re rambling and look like an idiot.
No moron, you have a non compete contract with your company. Not an anti-employee and anti-free market combining of all the companies in your job sector. That is collusion and illegal
That is what the ncaa or combined conferences trying to do something like that would be. Collusion and illegal

That is impeding an individuals right to earn income and violates employment law
That will never be allowed again, unless a players union agree to it in a CBA. which they won’t, so that’s not coming back

If they come back for a Sr year after they are drafted then they could go back into the draft the next season and possibly be drafted higher.

That player has already been drafted. An NFL already has rights to them. They just report to whatever team drafted them the year prior, pay the fines for not going to camp and not playing any games, then continue on with their career.

You could send em to New Orleans by riverboat and auction them off in Jackson Square.

Because it violates employment and contract law.
Many businesses require employees to sign non-compete agreements. Simply require every scholarship athlete to sign one and they can't play in FBS. Let them go to FCS teams to play. NFL teams will still take them if they are good.

Or like a professional athlete, like they pretty much are. If you’re trying to say having millions for playing a game is comparable to slavery then that certainly is a take

Still better coming back and actually playing a game in college and getting experience that playing on some practice squad or special teams. The point is they play actual football rather than standing on the sidelines holding a helmet buried on the depth chart or not even active for the game.

Are teams supposed to hold a spot in the starting lineup for juniors who declare early for the draft in case they don’t like their draft position and decide to go back to college for another season? Imagine you’re a QB who transferred in December expecting to be the starter, went through spring ball as QB1, the spring portal window already closes….but now last year’s QB wants to come back because he doesn’t like where he got drafted?
