To me the two cases are very different.  CMac sat out even though he was perfectly healthy, so far as we know.  Love is injured and has had a tendency to re aggravate that injury when he plays hurt.  The first was a pure business decision, the second is a health decision.  Also, CMac left with a year of eligibility, and Love came back when he didn't have to.  CMac prioritized his payout, Love prioritized his team.  CMac collected a big pay day, Love probably won't do as well because of his sacrifice.

I don't see the two as parallel.

What IS parallel is that each of them gave us fans many spectacular, thrilling moments.  I am thankful for each of them in that way.

Agree 100%. However, McCaffrey's decision to leave early left a bitter taste in my mouth. I have no such bitterness about Love, but I do have the same bitterness about Herbig and any other player who is medically cleared to play and chooses not to.
