NIL should only come from any legit business opportunity that uses their name, like, and image.

No pay for play from boosters or the university period. Your money either comes from a legit, pre-verified and vetted service you are providing or not at all. And if I had it my way, you only get it your junior or senior season. Should never be an incentive to sign with any program.

The transfer portal should only be open after your sophomore year and later. And then for only verifiable hardship cases or legitimate cases where it can be reasonably proved you'll get more playing time.

This would have been the ideal set up and had the school presidents & AD's gotten off their arse and pushed this plan through NCAA legislation student-athletes would've been satisfied, it would've never been necessary for a ruling by the Supreme Court.

As things stand today, there's no going back and the NCAA has no leg to stand on.

This was the way it was presented to the public.

Nobody was told that there would be "collectives"...

Nobody was told that guys basketball transfers would be lending their "name, image and likeness" to the owner of the Dallas Cowboys.

It was presented like this was going to be players and local businesses finding each other and having the player do a photo op eating the proprietor's chicken wings. Or the player doing t shirts.

Basically we got legalized and organized boosters bribing these guys.
