I'm not reading a garbage report that pretends to call for a return to an era of amateurism that never existed in post WWII America and even then there was pay for play.  Gotta beat your rival or the alumni will cut off the money.  Please.

One way to return to the era mild corruption is to take them off TV.  Now that we've all had a good laugh do this.

1.  Tax all athletic revenue, including donations.  Call it what it is, a business enterprise.

2.  All scholarships are for 4 years regardless of the athlete is their to use it or not.   Ends the one and done era permanently.   If you want to be sure, any contact with representatives of the major domestic leagues results in immediate loss of eligibility.

3.  Pay them, or let them be paid for endorsements.  If Pizza Hut wants to sponsor women golfers, let them.  No title IX issues.

4.  Freshmen are ineligible.  Solves the fake student problem.

You can add as many other rules as you wish to address competition issues but big schools are always going to have the advantage.  The market will sort out the rest.  There are no NCAA regulations of Chemistry departments, why should we care if Michigan wants to spend billions on sports.
