It will be nice like the old days (not so long ago) if a high potential G6 player like Winfield stuck around for the remainder of his eligibility. The odds are against making it to the NFL even for very talented CFB players. So the vast majority of today's CFB players have a small window to earn income playing. Any G6 player looking to job hop to a P4 school greatly enhances his resume by first getting experience as a full year starter. If a player's goal is maximizing his income in their five years of eligibility they need playing time.

I still not sure a move to a P4 is a positive move if you are not going to get playing time - no matter where you play, if you are NFL caliber, the NFL will find you . . . money on the other hand may not find you if you stay G6 . . .

The thing about that is transferring doesn't really guarantee you a boost in pro chances. Look like at how many transferred and how many made it to the NFL. Except for Trey Amos and the o linemen, who would have likely made it anyway and the late Kyren Lacy, none of the skill positions really got opportunities. The skill position players that left for Houston are floundering around, either watching from the sidelines or not getting any attention.
We can only hope that players are seeing some of those as cautionary tales.
