In your example, if JS decided to leave UD he would have to sit out a year. As for your other examples, BR and CW were both local. CW had big time options before UD and picked UD. He wasn't going anywhere. BR was a 2 star recruit. It is possible, but him being from Toledo, I do not see that happening. SS isn't leaving UD for Butler. He was great at UD, but was not an elite player that could have transferred anywhere.

In his own words, he came to UD to build something and to show local talent they could go to Dayton and be successful. BR would be the least surprising to me to transfer out of the ones you suggested, but I still can't see him transferring. He used that fact that he had no big offers as a chip on his shoulder. Maybe knowing CW and BR personally is affecting my view of your hypothetical dooms day you are saying would have happened. I was in school and around the program BR's last 2 years and CW's first 3 years. 3) SS was a good player at UD, but he was not an elite player. And you know exactly what I mean when I said he couldn't transfer anywhere. Meaning he wasn't good enough to go to the blue bloods and be an instant impact guy. He would have been solid bench player, but he is not starting at Duke, Kentucky, Kansas, or even a schools like Villanova, Gonzaga, or Xavier. I think we are letting recency bias cloud our judgement a little bit.

I'm making the argument that Decision #1 opens the door to Decision #2, Decision #3, etc. It's just the first change, and each time the first change happens people want to say "come on, it's just one little change." And then once that change is accepted you start working on the next change. Said differently, "give an inch and you'll take a mile." This is one of the additional inches being given to the big schools, IMO.

Never said anything about it being a final decision. I said proposed rule. You may need to check your reading comprehension.
