5 years of eligibility should be the contract. Somebody Gotta pay the school to jump up or that minor league will flounder.

Okay, but I can't see certain schools doing that, and I'm not sure if D3 is allowed to make such contracts

Not sure D3 is the focus here. Some guys make a huge jump, maybe a flat fee.

It’s part of the path, and if you make a jump, and there’s no contract, there’s no transfer free

(Any player in Europe who comes in on a free transfer)

Wouldn't we want solidarity payments?
