i don't know what would be the best way to implement it, I guess my imagination is that the school would be able to offer a player anything from zero above scholarship up to a cap, like maybe $200K per season.  and the player is free to do endorsements on top of it.  I think the system would work itself out, I don't think that many programs would want to pay the cap to all guys 1-13, and I don't think that every player would only choose the max offer because they would still care about playing time and geography and what not.

I guess I just keep thinking of guys like trevor cooney or scoop.  good college players that won't play pro.  there is a good chance that for those guys, their 5 years at SU could have been their prime earning years of their lives.  even with a relatively modest (compared to the revenue of SU basketball) salary and the opportunity to do endorsements it is easy to imagine that those guys could and should be graduating $500K in the bank.  that money could be life changing to those families.
