My guess in the NCAA will regulate it through the schools. There will be a cap amount per player, and any money made from image or likeness must be linked to the school. In other words, for a player to be paid, someone (say Coca-Cola) must go to the AD and say they want an athlete or athletes to be in a commercial. The athletes will then earn money from that, and it will be paid to them through the school. A player won't be allowed to independently profit from their image...it must be their image in relationship to the school they attend.
I’m willing to say that this is not at all what will happen. The players will not be able to be paid through the school.
Much like Ed Orgeron has a deal with Raising Cane’s that doesn’t have anything to do with LSU players will be able to something similar. Or in the case of say Joe Burrow he could make shirts that say “Burreaux” or something similar and sell the shirts.

Booster gives Burrow 5k per autograph on some memorabilia. Can the NCAA regulate that?
I think regulation is going to have to be implemented, but it’s going to be really messy.

I think the company would have to go through the school in order to approach a player like that. I'm not sure how it works now, but I wouldn't be surprised if companies such as Raising Cane's had to get some sort of approval from LSU before partnering with EO. I could certainly be wrong, but regulating it through a schools AD doesn't seem like a drastic measure to me.
