the coaching staff can't hand out bags of cash

Again, they won't need to.  The boosters will be able to do it completely legally. 

I'm pretty sure most coaches that have previously been involved in the shady stuff, will be delighted to no longer be operating in violation of NCAA rules, risking their livelihoods and their careers if they get caught.  

However another way to look at it is that any gains achieved by such infractions in the past will no longer be available to such coaches

kinda like legalizing pot put a dent in illegal drug trade

IT doesn't need to be available to the coaches.  Coaching staffs will no longer need bagmen.  The boosters can do it all above the table now.

but thats my point

programs will not be able to get an advantage because everybody will do it

sad but true

Schools with wealthier boosters will be able to take advantage.  Schools that don't have such wealthy boosters won't.

I can imagine that the schools that will suffer the biggest negative change compared to current status quo, are the ones that were willing to get really dirty, but don't actually have the same financial backing from boosters, as the really big guys.  Schools like Ole Miss or Auburn for example.  They were willing and able to buy players brazenly, but they weren't competing against wealthier schools that weren't as willing to get dirty and play ball.

Now those wealthier schools that mostly stayed above the purchasing of players, will be able to engage in it full-throttle.

So, Ole Miss and Auburn aren't really in the same set. Auburn is rich, much more so than Ole Miss. Auburn is more rich in the sense that they spend because they're crazy, but they paid their coach and staff more than the richest athletic department in the land. 

I'll be interested in how it plays out because the teams you mention in bold, I'm unconvinced there's a big roster of them. Some schools have been more brazen, while others have not, but in the end, if you were landing classes that were in the same range or better than the brazen cheaters, it seems unconvincing that you didn't have someone helping out somewhere. Maybe not like Auburn, but probably some. 

The sport has long been stratified across financial lines (more defined by rabid fan passion than just wealth). After that, it comes down to coaching and to a lesser extent, geography. 

I'm sure it will slow down, but I'm enjoying the day one flourish. I miss you has a backup offensive lineman pimping gushers now. And our kicker is promoting an MSU podcast from a boat.  Some Illinois walk-on got paid a dollar to post a picture of himself with some supplement on Twitter

the portal is now a way to move to a place to make more $$$
