Jakobi Coles transferring from Butler

I have to wonder how the NCAA figures these programs are going to handle this influx of players, and the ones who decided to stick around another year, like Frederking and Kuhlman. Here is the part where it gets tricky.
Let's say Kuhlman goes to summer school, gets a bit more education and, knowing he already has a career in mind, decides on Sept. 20 that he's done with classwork. He's graduated twice. His wife is maybe preggers, or his father needs him to run the store. Whatever.
But UE passed on a kid who was interested because there wasn't a noticeable roster spot. Of course, the kid goes elsewhere and on Sept. 21, UE finds it had a roster spot all along. They trusted that a 5th year senior would not make a career decision that was clearly more useful to his future than running wind sprints to keep his roster spot.

Kids who got hurt, like Coles, look up and the place they had on the team is being taken by somebody else. So they transfer, or consider it. They have no idea if the school they are entering hasn't done the same thing. 

I am all in favor of these guys seeking better arrangements as part of a path to their future, but they are being played like a cheap violin.
