The unstated difference being, of course, that most students pay for their own tuition, albeit discounted.  Scholarship athletes do not.  Should schools who are investing significantly in their scholarship athletes have some degree of stability/certainty?  Non-athletes to transfer bears the cost of it.  If they lose credits, as can often be the case particularly for upper classmen transfers, they are going to pay for making them up.  That economic constraint does not apply to scholarship athletes.  So analogizing the scholarship in nonscholarship athlete isn’t really a perfect comparison.

Now, that being said, I’ve long thought that once a student graduates they have fulfilled their commitment to the University and should be able to go to any institution they’d like for graduate work.  That, plus the one time transfer rule that is already in place, would allow student athletes the opportunity to move twice during their athletic career without having to sit out a year.  That seems reasonable to me
