Ridiculous government interference in a private entity.
You're woefully uninformed.
The bill would change the tax code. That's it. They're not forcing the NCAA to allow it, they're simply changing the tax code so it could even be possible.

Don’t like this. Amateurs don’t get paid. Hell the players are already compensated, not just in free education/room/board/clothing/healthcare but they also get that stupid “full cost of whatever” stipend as well. You know what you are getting into when you enroll. If you want to be paid then learn to plumb or code or whatever else.
And spare me the whole “well the schools make millions crap”. Maybe 1% of all AD have turned profits in consecutive years in the last decade across all levels of college athletics. Even then, literally every company worth a shite on earth is getting more production value out of their staff than they compensate them. That’s how it works.
Each of these athletes think they are something unique and are the reason why everyone tunes in. We watched someone before you and we’ll watch someone after you. No sport has ever depended on one player for its survival ever.

The only way to force the NCAA to do anything is through the democratic process, the courts aren’t gonna force them to do shite due to the sui generis nature of high school/college sports and that rationale makes sense to me, I can dig it.

Basketball players have no argument. They have the G-League and any international league they can go play in after high school, heck the international leagues will sign you at 16.
Baseball players already had alternate options.
The only college athletes with a gripe are football players and if the XFL allows high school graduates into their league then this all goes away anyways.
The only way that would feel right about this if they allow athletes to take on endorsements but all of their income is held in a trust/savings. Athletes can access those funds on one of two conditions: End of eligibility naturally (sixth year guy whose eligibility has expired or a player leaving for professional league after 2-3 years even if they have eligibility left). A player can access his funds before then, but once you access those funds you forfeit your eligibility. Real World Example:
Let’s say Zion Williamson had a deal with Nike where they would pay him $100,000 to star in an ad campaign. That money is set aside in a trust. He doesn’t touch the money. He injured his ankle as he did and he says you know what? I’ve proven enough that I don’t want to risk a further injury, i’ll take my $100k and enjoy the next few months. He can have that cash, but he is no longer eligible to play any college sports.

Yeah, something like that it would have to be highly regulated or would just quickly be absurd.
Like some rich Alabama booster just pays $5 million to the entire incoming freshman recruiting class to be in his annual "new faces in new chargers" car dealership commercial.
There is a somewhat similar issue in European soccer where recent rules mean clubs can now only spend in line with their income.
As soon as the rule passed, there was an immediate problem with bogus sponsors paying clubs $300 million for naming rights etc which had more realistic market values of $20 million.
It's a huge bureaucratic mess now as the governing body tries to judge which endorsement deals are bogus.

Most members are public institutions and all take federal funds. That's another way you can get the NCAA.

Not a whole lot. Bama already pays players under the table. This will allow boosters to openly hire players for no show jobs or promotional appearances so programs that aren't NCAA darlings can do the same thing.
We're likely overrating the money and ability to compete. 5 star recruits don't always pan out and boosters will get burned a few times and reduce the payouts. I don't see very many million dollar offers.
Each school has enough rich boosters or local businesses to cover the roster size limits, with the exception of some irrelevant G5 teams.
Skill position players will get the big money. Coaches will try to talk those players into being walk ons so the scholarship is freed up for guys in the trenches.
