Put together a revenue sports union and negotiate how much their education costs, housing, etc, how much money low income families are losing by having a player not contribute his 12 dollars an hour toward the light bill etc, establish that as the baseline for the basketball programs with revenue over X. Then have players agree to compensation in the programs that make a lot of money, with say a modest amount being paid out during the season and then the rest being broken down based on NCAA tournament success, since that's how most teams make money in basketball. For football, you do the same thing except you decide the salary before the season since they make their money on tv deals and gate revenue, and aren't as dependent on the results of a single elimination tournament. For title IX purposes, you create a chinese wall, where the schools provide the education of players on affiliated club teams, lawyers can figure it out. The surplus of revenue brought in by big sports programs seems to be spent mostly on stadiums, fancy facilities, coaches, ADs, and college administrators. I don't see much money going to the non revenue sports or the rest of the school. It makes sense to detach them in a legal sense. But that would be admitting that you're just running a minor league, and that makes the NCAA furious for some raisin.
