It's not going to happen much with our stars. It takes time to learn a new system. Take a guy like Nick DeLuca. Let's say he left his junior year after being a buck buchanon award candidate? (pre injury) Then com his senior year where he's already projected as draft pick, a BB candidate, and move to a new team and have the same knowledge level of the defense as a true freshman? Would have been the dumbest decision ever. As of now he's a national champion, playing in the good shrine game and was invited to the NFL combine. If he does well he will get drafted and have a chance to make millions despite an injury. What would have happened if he went to a power 5 school and didn't win the starting role right away or spends half his time there learning a brand new system so he's thinking instead of playing fast?
Stick going to Nebraska when he will be the big name in the FCS. Seems about as brilliant as Vernon Adams going to Oregon. Where is he playing again? Canada. And he's also extremely disliked in Cheney now.
I think you may see players who are redshirt freshman, sophmores or juniors not getting playing time transfer when they don't see the field. Besides we don't recruit 5 star athletes. We develop them and it takes time.

I say if they don't want to be here don't let the door hit ya on the way out. Don't think this will have much impact on us.
This new rule would be a clear advantage to programs that take advantage of the opportunity to bring in players that fall thru the recruiting cracks or simply developed quickly and unexpectedly after high school. NDSU is more apt to lose from this than gain as it has a history of taking care of its own and avoiding the transfer-in players. NDSU has a great team culture, but rest assured, every once in a while a big surprise will hit them in the face. Schools like Alabama, Clemson etc... where many players are two years and gone will reap the harvest from this new ruling, AAA ball mentality as a quick stepping stone to the NFL. EX: A Jabril Cox type player after his sophomore season.
With this rule Goedert and Weineki could have actually became champions...
good discussion on 1660 about this right now
The three year stipulation will help a lot. Although I could see a kid win a couple FCS titles and decide to try and add an FBS title to his resume as well. I could never blame a top talent from taking a one year deal from a school like Alabama as a stepping stone to a future NFL deal.
