In response to Penndemonium
Or here's a revised thought. Instead of no NIL, maybe it is NIL that is split evenly among roster players. This way it isn't mercenary but allows athletes to benefit from NIL. NIL helps the team instead of just players individually. That may not attract the biggest stars, but could attract some pretty good ones - maybe enough to raise the program and attract more NIL for the team. This approach could allow the program and league to stay afloat with the rest of the NCAAs, even if NIL itself goes crazy. It won't attract many five star recruits, but it will make sure the league doesn't perennially get the bottom of the recruiting barrel.
I like this better than the idea of a full ride. The only way to make that one work would be to have it cover tuition, room & board plus a stipend of sufficient size that the student athletes wouldn't need to work a campus job.
And of course, with Title IX this would have to be available to the women's team as well.
