Athletes will see the positive and negative results others have and adjust accordingly. Right now, they probably figure "all good, no bad". After they see the bad, there will be fewer transfers. How many fewer remains to be seen. Lots of athletes will take a "That won't happen to me" approach, and then it will. I think in the main this transfer situation will turn out to be net negative both for the sport and for most athletes, though some will certainly benefit. Time will tell about how negative.
