It comes down to the simple question: do you want to play football, or just be on a football team? Hence why there have always been FBS transfers and always will be. It's worth it to some kids to play, rather than just be on the team.

They could still receive FCOA valued scholarships at the FCS school. And we don't know yet if P5 schools are going to offer any NIL money to players. They can decide not to, if they want. They just can't collude in doing it.

Another possibility: they may decide to offer zero NIL money to players that aren't on the two deep or perhaps starters (or maybe an even smaller group). There won't be any rules about which players money must be offered to, only the cap on how much they can offer. So in that case, the transfer may well never have gotten any NIL money if he stayed anyway.
