Whether that payment comes from the new school or the athlete is irrelevant. What if the student transfers to a lower level or doesn't end up anywhere? The impact to the departing school is no different in terms of that athlete, but nobody would expect the school to be compensated for the loss.

It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.
