I'd guess that just as some sports give out partial scholarships, stipends of varying amounts will be offered to recruits (even in FB and BB).  To avoid litigation/loss of status, equal dollar amounts will need to be provided to the female athletes.   I'm not sure how they currently even things out with football (hoops is a wash with mens and womens teams), but that is where you'll see an increase.  Non-revenue mens sports will more or less get shorted, except for probably certain sports where a particular school has a tradition or desire to be at the top.  Some, maybe many, schools may opt to make payments to all their athletes if they have the means, but it won't be required.
 
What it will do is open up another avenue to get recruits to flip - a diamond in the rough may initially be happy with a "regular" scholarship until someone else offers more of a stipend.  Then his original choice will need to figure out if they can up the offer, etc.  I see lots of promises being made and rescinded as coaches try to act as GMs on visits, then find that the school can't/won't cover the Title IX match or increase the budget for all of the money bantered about.  Or kids misinterpreting what coaches say they will try to arrange for them.
