There's a major lawsuit waiting to happen that goes well beyond title 9.

Can you provide a link to that discussion? I would be interested in reading about it.

The USSC unanimously ruled the NCAA cannot place restrictions on player being compensated for use of their NIL. So even this regulation you suggest NIL is not going to be effected.

Things will either be regulated back down to an ameutuer level or you'll have minor league football and men's basketball for sure.

I think it is entirely plausible a NBA/NFL minor league system could develop similar to MLB (The NBA already somewhat has one in the G-League). But the franchises, particularly football, don't really want it because it is an added expense. Just let the colleges serve as a de facto minor league to develop/weed out the pro prospects on someone else's dime. And here is a little secret. The colleges don't necessarily want it either. The Big 10 and SEC are about to start multi-BILLON dollar media contracts. The value of those contracts start to disappear a bit if all of the best players are going directly to minor leagues. The college players don't really want it because many can make more on NIL than being a minor leaguer.

All of the momentum is pushing towards the major conference teams breaking away from the NCAA and creating their own "league". But like you point out, only football and men's basketball are profitable. So the big question is how do you untangle that fact from title 9? If the schools could pay the just the football and basketball players market value and not have to worry about paying the other athletes equal compensation they likely would have already broken away from the NCAA
