re: Honest discussion about NIL. Would love to hear thoughts.

no revenue to share unless you want to take it away from all the other sports because there are only 1 or 2 sports that draw income

Right... under a revenue sharing construct the university could make up funding shortfalls for the other sports or not - school's choice. Not football's problem if the water polo team needs a new pool.

the government to butt the frick out of it

Government has just said that the schools can't stop players from taking NIL money... which in a free society makes sense as it's anti-competitive.

Everything else is moot. Schools have a choice at this point to go full pro league with collective bargaining or run with the current status quo. In a full "pro league" there would still be NIL mind you. It's not like pros can't get sponsorships, it just has less of an impact.
