In the real world you also pay tuition and fees and housing and work in the library or for some professor to earn cash and you pay for a tutor if you need one.  And in fact you you might have to wait a year or more to go to work for a competitor or even a supplier or customer.

As I said it obviously isn’t too much of a hindrance if a quarter of college basketball players transfer every year.  The cartel members know they can’t totally keep midmajors out of the tournament, though heaven knows they would love to and they will uses every kind of bogus stat to minimize their numbers (I believe it was Churchill who said there are liars, damned liars, and statisticians). So they’ll just make it easier to steal their best players.  And I still haven’t heard a reason why this change is a good idea—that the players find it inconvenient doesn’t really cut it.  I’m sure they find going to class, taking exams, stopping at stop signs, all inconvenient.  And they can avoid all those things, well not the stop signs, by skipping college altogether and going pro.  More of them should do that, really.
