I could see the NCAA existing in its current format for the Olympic sports other than basketball. I see both football and basketball programs forming some type of semi pro amateur league (like BYU’s men soccer is in). There will be some type of split. I could see Congress passing legislation setting limits for the Olympic sports but allowing certain exemptions for basketball and football.

What I would love to see in football is a 64 team semi pro league comprised of four 16 team conferences based on geography with two 8 team divisions. Teams would play 7 division games, 2 conference non-division games, and 3 non-conference games (1 team from each of the other 3 conferences). The conference championship game could act as a defacto playoff game. The 64 team league could operate like many of the European soccer leagues do by relegating the bottom team from each division every 5 years to the mid major conferences and pulling up the top teams from the mid majors.

If you are an NCAA athlete, you need a new board name!

If the cost of doing business goes up that much, there are a lot of programs which will be unable to continue operations

Congress will solve that problem.

Correct, which means if even one school decides to pay players, there's nothing

Club sports are subject to Title IX as are intramural sports

This is something that could easily be amended with legislation or worked around.

No under collective bargaining

Unions and collective bargaining agreements- that’s why it is legal in the pros.
