Very to see how they attempt to navigate that with title IX.
The NCAA made a Hail Mary proposal a few weeks ago that would create a new division and allow direct payments and basically a new set of rules for the schools who move up. Unfortunately, Title 9 would still be a factor, so it will never happen.
There’s only one way forward. The Power Conferences will leave the NCAA to form a new entity and the teams in it will completely separate from the universities. They will have to license the names, mascots and colors (which is how the schools get money funneled to them), and they will lease the facilities. With this clean break from any formal association, Title 9 will no longer apply. The. The way is clear for collective bargaining, direct payments, contracts, etc.
Outside of some game-changing federal legislation that changes the scope of Title 9 as it applies to college athletics, this is the only way.

Sad, but I generally agree that a semi-pro league decoupled from NCAA is where this was headed from the beginning. It’s the only outcome that makes any sense with respect to organizational structure & legal considerations.
There are still a lot of different ways that could play out though… raises its own whole new set of questions. But it’s definitely a better place to start than maintaining the charade that this could ever be sustained under the NCAA umbrella.
