No there shouldn’t. They’re kids who made a life changing decision at 16-17 years old. If they decide they want to go to another school for whatever reason they shouldn’t be penalized for it. That’s just stupid.
It isn't a big penalty. You actually could say it isn't a penalty at all given you get two years of school for one year of playing. There just has to be something otherwise it would basically be that these players are being recruited every year.
At least with the rule that they have to sit out a year a team has to allocate two years of scholarship for one year of playing(or if it happens earlier they still lost a scholarship for that year). There is a reason that no sports league has set it up where players can move like that. Players would leave the smaller schools in mass every year if there was no penalty. A school like Illinois would rebuild not through high school recruiting but through raiding the MAC and other places.
It's also not a life changing decision to transfer. Players do it all the time already with the loss of a year of eligibility or their redshirt year.
