There’s a much much easier way.
Treat the prima donna jocks like regular students. The NCAA cannot regulate the NIL…that’s proven. What the NCAA can regulate us the transfer requirements. A regular student needs at least a 2.0 and the normal hours of class study to transfer to a top school. Make the players meet the same requirements.

that is only 525,000,000 a season, which is not a lot of money really.

So for an 80 man roster you are talking 400 million a year lol.
For some people it is a lot of money, for others it is not. Elon Musk, with a net worth of 722 billion, could give each player on Bama's roster 5 million a year for 1,375 years. That is with a 105 man roster.
I think he likes Alabama football too.

That’s only about $5000 per ticket. I can do that.

Of course. It's for the kids to have a better life.

Once again, players will choose what team they want to play for because of the love of the state or team or coaches or school.
You guys are going to have to get over this shite.
No one cares if an engineering student with a genius IQ attends Bama (or wherever) for no other reason than to acquire the skills and degree to get a good job. And no one will care if he has a chance to transfer to MIT or Georgia Tech for an even better opportunity.
But talented athletes who are trying to maximize their value by going to whatever school is best for their future - without any “love” involved - we can’t have all that. Perceived loyalty is more important.

My thing is: WHY should f/b be the ONLY sport college athletes get paid?

Go back to paper bag$, Tran$ Am$, and whore$!

Pay them nothing, disassociate it from the school and make it a club sport. Which nobody wants so just take what you can get in this ever changing climate and continue to get to unlimited options to watch every game.

I think it is an excellent idea. The total annual payroll for D-1 football would only be $70.4 billion dollars. Pocket change for most rantards.

Then the players won't have to live in abject and extreme poverty with not even enough food to eat or clothes they have to buy at thrift stores or find in dumpsters like many have had to do in the past.

Get rid of NIL and the transfer portal. That’s the fix.

Are you paying every basketball player $5M a year too? Baseball? Softball? Volleyball? If you're not paying the girls' teams, you immediately run afoul of Title IX.
Regardless of the amount you're paying, if you're saying that the NCAA and member schools should COLLUDE and limit player payouts to any amount, no matter how large, you'll immediately run afoul of anti-trust as well. Some players are worth more than others though few, if any, are worth anywhere near $5M a year. Most are worth no more than a scholarship, but Big Money Booster Genitalia Measuring contests have artificially inflated the market.
Where is all of this money coming from? Here's the thing about "revenue sharing:" the people who have the revenue now are not willing to share it. Is Alabama going to raise ticket prices $5K/ticket/season to cover it? If you're going to hit up advertisers for more $$$,$$$,$$$, are you prepared to pay more for the products they're trying to sell you? What about smaller schools with smaller stadiums and little to no TV audience. Or maybe you're planning to socialize this nationwide so that big schools pay (A LOT) more.
I'm at the point of fans MIGHT be able to solve the problem by turning it off. If you want to send a message, DO NOT WATCH the championship game.
NFL minimum salary is $840K to $1.255M. Do you honestly think players will take a paycut as large as $4M a year when they "turn pro?" Of course not. Since they're not, the above inflationary pressures to ticket prices and advertisers will quickly trickle up to the NFL.
Other than that, great idea.

Of all fanbases complaining about what college football has come to, it's rich coming from the school that has obviously been paying players A LOT before it was legal to do so.
Now that the playing field has leveled out some, now you don't like it eh?
