I think for many of us it goes beyond the issue of SU being able to compete. It's potentially a much bigger issue than just commercials and video game royalties (which would definitely really only pay off for a few features players). There are too many unknowns for anyone to be able to predict with certainty what will be the long term implications. There are many ways this can go with much of it being bad for college sports as we know them currently. 
As Townie alluded to, the IRS is going to be very interested in how this develops and I can envision this ultimately leading to universities and colleges having to choose between being a non-profit organization or getting rid of revenue sports (and the implications of that to non-revenue sports) so that football and basketball end up like baseball and hockey with minor league systems taking most of the top talent. If you're a fan of college baseball and college hockey, you may not care, though I suspect most people do.
I'm not sure football can sustain a minor league system,  however, so what will that ultimately mean for the NFL (e-gaming)?
This isn't going to take place in a vacuum.
