I'd think football and basketball will end up 50/50 revenue sharing with the athletes at some point modeled on every other major sports league. Schools will probably get to net out the cost of tuition. So 50% of everything directly related to football and basketball. If I'm a lawyer I also go after any money/donations that give benefits associated with football. I.E. booster money that allows fans to buy season tickets.
If not, that's a lawsuit or a massive recruiting advantage for those that do. Will also be interesting to see if conferences start having a salary cap NFL style because recruiting may become a nightmare otherwise.
Those programs will eventually end up segmented from the rest of the athletics department because you can't 50/50 revenue split the loss leader sports like gymnastics etc...
