Why don’t colleges band together to just dissolve the NCAA?

Because colleges banded together to FORM the NCAA....

Al Shanker, former president of the American Federation of Teachers, allegedly once said: "When schoolchildren start paying union dues, that's when I'll start representing the interests of schoolchildren."

The main interests of the NCAA are threefold:

1. Generate money for member institutions;
2. Protect tax-exempt status of member institutions; and
3. Protect member institutions from massive lawsuits.

Notice that protecting/promoting the interests of athlete-students is not one of the NCAA's main interests.

By the way, the seemingly unending COVID dead period is an example of #3, above.

what type of visit “official” or “unofficial”?

He and his family want the "official" visits which are paid for by the school and allows full interaction with the coaches.

This is a major decision. You can't blame the young man and/or his family for wanting to actually visit all the schools under consideration before making a final decision, i.e. signing a LOI with a school.

I’m not blaming him at all... but. the reality is by the time officials are allowed... it might be after the season has started.... again not his fault but its reality right now...
