Right; I'm saying that college players should have that leverage. I think it would look something like a separate sub-division of the 50-60 programs that can afford to compete at the top level. Players who want to be eligible for that level can sign up for the CFB Players' Association, which bargains collectively for whatever minimum contract rights every school is then held to. Schools would then recruit from that pool, or have whatever unsigned players they might want sign up for the CFBPA (should they find some under-recruited "diamond in the rough"). From there you can set whatever transfer or trade-option rules are mutually agreeable to the CFBPA and member institutions. Players would be student-workers under multi-year contracts; they could have agents, etc. as well as sign whatever NIL deals they could land (although NIL regulations could then stipulate that an actual market-value trade is necessary, like appearing in a commercial or whatever, not just $1.5M from the booster club for an Instagram post). Some people would complain that this is turning CFB into pro-football light, but people have said that since the 1890s, and whenver the ship sailed it has well and truly gone already.
