The only way you could do it was to have each school hand out the same amount of money to each player. Otherwise, the recruiting implications would absolutely destroy smaller schools.

and they need to be allowed to leave after 1 year like basketball.



That's an NFL rule, not NCAA. You have to be three years removed from HS graduation, or three years of college ball under your belt to play in the NFL.

Not good enough. You can't give anything to a male athlete that you don't give to a female athlete. And like you said, it would have to be equal for all schools. So every college athlete would have to get the same amount of money.
