i think this would fall under title 9, b/c the womenz would be required to get their stipends, too
Yes, that's why I said all players. If every scholarship cost, say, $10,000 more, how much would it cost a program? How many total schollies are there in LSU's program? 300? I honestly don't know. But if there's 300, which seems like a decent guess, it would cost LSU $3 million. Which is a lot, but we certainly have the money. Don't buy a waterfall.

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.
right. Which is why the O'Bannon case is sort of perfect. It is licensing their likeness in a video game. They deserve a cut of that. It's not about the game, it's about being able to do an ad for the local car dealership. And if a random fan wants to give a player a hundred dollar handshake, why is that against the rules? Seriously, why?

but from what i've read, they signed away these rights, so they do NOT deserve a cut
in my scenario/in the future? OK
but ed o'bannon signed away his rights to his likeness while at UCLA. he has no right to any money for his likeness accordingly

Because then what is to stop random fan from showing up to players house and offering him 60,000 to go to their school?
