There's no putting the genie back in this bottle. Whole thing blew up in the 90s with the first huge TV contracts and $1mm coaches salaries. A multi billion dollar industry, with some employees making $5mm+ per year, isn't going to be able to continue functioning where some of the most important contributors are just getting free college tuition.
If you want to restrict players from the transfer portal then you have to admit they're employees. NCAA has already shown they're not willing to fight these lawsuits trying to argue that students can't transfer schools.
If players are employees they are going to get collective bargaining.
If players get collective bargaining they'll probably get ~50% of revenues, with other pro sports leagues used as a benchmark.
If you want to watch old school college athletics where student athletes are playing, go watch a Sewanee game.
