I want to induce more transfers in this game, so that talented mid-majors hit the market a bit more portal like, but it seems the only real way to do it is to make players unhappy sometime on their current team, usually by not playing them at all and/or redshirting them when they don't wanna be. I think i finally figured out what I'm going to do to test this out.

I'm going to ID some potential players I want to have hit the portal, give them an extra year beyond the redshirt, manually take over their team to ensure they don't play and are unhappy so they then transfer after the year is over. For a while, i thought taking away a schollie would be enough to send them into the portal looking for one, but that's not how the logic seems to work for players who have gotten any real run in the past season.

Now I know how it induce it -- probably -- it means I can start to simulate better players switching teams mid-career, but I need to run a few tests to see if it works and it'll be a lot more cumbersome because I have to manually take over programs to do it, but...I'd love to get some mid-major players out of their programs and onto other programs.
