To me this will be the downfall of college sports. You will have your top schools with local big business behind them ready to help the University's bring in top talent. And you will have smaller schools who will be essentially farm teams or a clear 2nd tier.

Top high school recruit down between Kentucky and Virginia and he is told hey come to Kentucky and once you sign the dotted line our local car dealership who is a Kentucky Alum will give ya $40,000 for an autograph signing at his store and for you to do some advertising of his dealership.

Or if a kid starts off at say Pittsburgh plays good as a Sophomore and is an All American or something, a business reaches out and says hey I want to pay you $25,000 for an endorsement deal for some company, but it is contingent on you entering that transfer portal and play at Auburn next year. You only get the money if you go to Auburn because I'm an Auburn alum and well I would love to see you on that team.

And they can do all of this stuff above-board now.
