Things got worse last month when it comes to NIL and pay to play.
Anything, literally, goes.

That doesn’t make me wonder at all except for wondering how people could consider they haven’t been contacted yet…Makes you wonder if Owen Freeman & Josh Dix have been contacted by other schools' collectives....
Not a draft. Collective bargaining with unions.Again, when will a draft be implemented to help offset the imbalance of free agency?

It wouldn't be surprising to see a player's union form but I don't think it would be able to get market power /unity to the level that the NBA union has for example. There are over 300 schools with diverse level of talent/budgets/etc.
The NCAA itself is hamstringing schools like Iowa and conferences like the B1G10 that want to play by the rules. My understanding is the school can't reward NIL donors with special access/benefits to the program/coach. There can't be any money coming from the school itself to players. I'm not sure what restrictions there are for coaching staffs working the collectives to raise money...Fran doesn't appear to be effective in getting the donor base to part with their money for NIL for basketball. He's all for more NIL, but the proof is in the pudding.

There is still a rule in place that you can’t play for two different schools in the same season.With all of the rules seemingly out the window these days...is there anything that would prevent a player from transferring this week, prior to the Sweet 16 being played?
Yes, I could see where that would create some feelings on behalf of the displaced player(s) and hurt team chemistry, but otherwise, is there anything preventing it in this Wild West of NIL and transfers? (I truly don't know either way and it just wouldn't really surprise nowadays to see it.)

The NCAA still has the authority to regulate the benefits players receive from the schools. And those benefits are quite massive:The only weapon schools now have is to make them actual students again, with stricter eligibility standards, freshman ineligibility, and perhaps even signed contracts with “non-compete” agreements barring them from competing for other same-division schools without sitting out a year
The alternative is utter chaos, as we are presently experiencing
