We already have tiered haves/have nots.  Some schools might switch categories due to size/# of interested sponsors, but they still have a say.  An endorsement-based system still leaves the schools current funding in place to spend on facilities and coaching.  Keep up with those factors, along with any historical prestige, and they can make a case to players that they will be marketable while playing there.

Basketball in particular doesn't have enough roster spots for a small group of elites to ruin the competition.  How much more could a Kentucky do to improve the quality of players they've been getting?  And they still aren't a given in the title picture.  The one and done situation would actually help spread talent around as top players (especially at the same position) will want to go where they can be The Man for a season.  Sponsors would also pay more for that - e.g,  the deals with the #1 and #2 ranked point guards in the country would be worth less if they are splitting time on the same team.
