So one of the QBs from Alabama can transfer to Minnesota?

The whole team could!!!!!! Why would they, would be the correct question to ask.

It's basically free agency in college athletics. Hopefully they get put some tampering rules in place because you know the Power 5 schools will do some shady stuff. Give them an inch and they will take a mile.

Wow the pressure to play players right away will be tremendous.

This would officially make the FCS and G5...feeder teams.

I don't think this will be nearly as big of a deal as some of you will. To me this will lead moreso to less FBS drop downs to the FCS but there's still only so many scholarships/roster spots on FBS teams. The P5 can't hoard all the FBS transfers and recruit the cream of the crop of the lower divisions as well along with signing the max of 25 scholarship kids per class each year. I think the fact that players will be allowed to transfer without penalty from FBS to FBS will ease the impact this has on FCS players moving up. There will probably be more than there was before but I highly doubt it'll lead to mass A(D2)/AA(FCS)/AAA(G5) "call ups" to P5 schools.

College sports in general are in for a world of hurt.

So would this give P5 coaches the ability to “recruit” players from lower division schools? It would suck to lose one of our best players during the season. Or would it only be at seasons end that they could transfer?

I saw some speculation that there would be a transfer window. Even if this ultimately goes through it is going to take a few years to work out the rules.

So coaches would have to spend more time recruiting college players in addition to high schoolers. I can see it now. "Sorry coach, I can't make practice today. I have meeting with the linebackers coach at Piggly Wiggly State who says I can be a starter there next year."
