Title 9 is the biggest issue

Sure, and you can sidestep it pretty easily: either give all players a stipend a few thousnad bucks (which would eliminate about 90% of NCAA corruption -- most players just want some walking around money) OR more drastically, remove all restrictions on players receiving compensation from boosters. So long as the institution isn't directing payment, who cares?

i think this would fall under title 9, b/c the womenz would be required to get their stipends, too

possible

i think they should just let kids market themselves via endorsements. completely independent payment with no possible argument that there is an association with the member institution. no title 9 issues. no further direct expenses of the institutions.
