Just seems so... Flippant. Throw money and do whatever you want.

College sports are so broken. I mean you don't see pro players just up and decide to leave mid contract, unless they are traded. Some hold out but there are usually consequences that happen in those cases. Like a Bryce Young isn't going to wake up tomorrow and tell the Panthers "hey I'm going to LA. See ya" But of course pro leagues actually have rules and I don't even know if the NCAA exists anymore.

Pro players have a CBA and a commissioner. They are not just relying on individual contracts. There is a governing framework for player movement. That simply doesn't exist in college right now -- especially since the NCAA got out of the player transfer business.

Forcing a player to stay somewhere they don't want to stay, even if you are legally in the right, sounds like a bad idea.

But you understand there must be a breaking point to the wild wild west going on?

And I don't think this is meant to keep him in Durham at all.

I disagree. Unlike pro players, college players have 4-5 years to maximize their college experience and showcase their skills to lay the ground work for the rest of their professional lives, if that is their goal. I won't ever fault a player for doing what they believe is best for their situation and don't want the NCAA to get in the way.. That doesn't mean each player will get it right, but I don't want to limit their movement.

Movement of non-athletes isn't restricted.

Movement of non athletes is very much restricted by admission barriers. Also. Non athletes are not being paid 7 figures to attend their institutions.
