Schools are going to need players start signing contracts, like the pros. Kids will basically owe money back to school if they leave before a given time frame.
I may be wrong, but outside of perhaps a signing bonus, I don't think an NFL player has to pay back any contracted amount already paid if they leave the contract early. Something like that would probably die a quick death in a courtroom any way.
That said... More companies forcing employees to pay 'back' training fees if they quit too soon after starting the job. I think that those kind of practices will eventually crash headlong into an artificial restraint of trade wall, and perhaps even constitutional concerns. But we'll see. The NCAA's death may pave the way for that recent practice to end.

NCAA responded and said they will no longer enforce the "1 year sit out" rule for multiple time transfers.
So they folded.
Everyone should sue the NCAA at this point

That is not what the court ruled. They only issued a TRO.
Yep, terrible take by OP.

So basically the NCAA serves no function whatsoever, why are they still getting a cut of the money?

Why are you asking me?
I was just reiterating that OP's understanding of the court ruling is incorrect.

Seems like the issue is selective enforcement. The NCAA could just remove the waiver process altogether and keep the transfer rules intact

I can't imagine any positive outcome for college football coming from this possibility. Endless transfers with being immediately eligible to play would be final nail in the college football coffin.
Y'all think NIL tampering is bad now, imagine a world where you can go grab a player from any team out there with the promise of NIL money and have them play immediately. There's a G5 quarterback out there lighting it up and your P5 starter just went down with an injury? Just go grab that G5 guy and sign him to a $250k NIL deal, he starts for your team next week.
A P5 team needs to overhaul it's Oline after two games because they look like crap? Just go pick up every promising lineman from the Sunbelt and MAC you can sign to a $50k NIL deal and have them in the rotation next week
Hopefully cooler heads will prevail here and realize this would be the absolute end of any semblance of college football, baseball, or basketball that fans have come to know and love. Might as well be a semi-pro farm league at that point

With unlimited transfers and no rules whatsoever, I can imagine a million ways devious coaches will game the system.
It will be the end of CFB.
NIL contracts will have buyout clauses. You won't see many leaving in season.
There will need to be stiff punishments for tampering with any player under contract, as well.
