No limits on how much schools can spend on NIL, players hitting the transfer portal every year, gambling permitted, players with agents. Might as well get rid of having actually ever go to class, or for that matter even requiring someone to go to HS before college.

Why not just let teams in the NCAA March Madness tournament, sign a bunch of current NBA players that have any college eligibility remaining, and pay them $1 million apiece for a few games to play in the tournament? That's probably coming next
