And if players started doing those things? I say it's great; college football is rotten to its core and needs to be blown up.

This is a fairly common, and I think rather facile, statement thrown about a lot these days.
At the least, I guess I want to ask which rotten aspect would be fixed by McCaffrey and others leaving their teams before the season is over?

[And not quite fair, but I might wonder why you are bothering to spend time on a fan board devoted to such a rotten to its core endeavour - as much of the rottenness is itself closely tied to excessive fan interest.]

Yeah, if college football were "blown up", it seems to me that people like CMac would not have the opportunity to make these decisions which people are applauding as great for their future.
Also, if you consider college football a "rotten" activity, people leaving early is presumably good because the fewer people participating in such an endeavor the better.
