I'll take you guys at your word that you're concerned about the negative impact on players.  Honestly though, the vast majority of people who express "concern" are ultimately just bummed about the negative impact on the team they root for.

Personally, I always felt rules about sitting out a year were needlessly punitive and done [I]solely[/I] to prevent players from leaving, not to protect them from making a potentially bad choice.  The latter of which I find to be quite disingenuous and patronizing.

I'm certain that for every player who gutted out a bad year or two, persevered due to the former rule, and ended up having a good experience, you can find a player who was trapped in a lousy situation that never improved and ruined a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Introducing NIL at the same time as the portal has made for an incredibly chaotic confluence of events.  But to me, allowing immediate transfers with no penalty has always been the right and just thing to do.
