I was thinking about this earlier.

[LIST]
[*]A player who doesn't play enough is going to go to the portal to try to find more playing time.
[*]A player who plays a lot likely plays a lot because he is pretty good. If that player is TOO good that player is likely to enter the portal because he wants a higher profile program and more NIL.
[*]A player who plays REALLY well may leave for a better NFL jumping off point, or even to go to the draft directly.
[*]A player whose positional coach or primary recruiter leaves may leave too.
[*]A player who doesn't like his role in the offense may leave too.
[/LIST]

This isn't a gripe, its just a realization that to truly feel confident a player will stay, it's almost like Goldilocks.

They need to be just good enough, but not too good. Enjoy their role in the offense just enough, but not so much they get gaudy stats they think can transfer. Be just satisfied enough w their NIL role. Be just happy enough with their progression that they feel it will allow them to achieve their goals here.

It just feels like an insanely high number of things can get in the way of it all. I'm mentally prepared to accept that in modrn college football many kids will be one year players. Maybe 2. Root for the helmet I guess.
