There are currently 38 AP courses. You'd have to hire a whole lot of subject experts to put a program comparably broad together, and then hire a ton of marketing people to get universities and colleges to agree to offer credit for successfully passing the tests, then you'd have to have those marketing people go to all the school districts that currently offer AP classes to get administrators and school boards to sign off on teaching those classes. After all those years of expenses would you need to put together the administrative capacity to administer the tests and finally have any hope of generating income. And the whole task would be made more challenging because, as I mentioned before, only Ron Desantis seems to think that there's a problem with the current vendor used for AP classes, so a whole lot of universities and school boards would probably not be interested in even meeting with representatives of this new company.
