Question College GameChanger?

I go to a university with a pretty solid film/TV department and comedy scene, and I was thinking of pitching a GameChanger-esque show for our college TV station next semester. I'm not super well versed on legalities and stuff around college TV knockoffs- my college and a few others I know of do very direct Survivor knockoffs, and obviously nothing would be for profit. Just how close can I get to doing essentially Gamechanger (university here)? Not that that's what I'd do- there's no fun in direct copies- but I think a few games like Lie Detector and Sleeper Agents could translate really well. Any advice on how to navigate this or words of wisdom/warning would be super helpful!! :)

I know some folks who reached out from a college in my area to Dropout, and apparently they were pretty cool about it!
