I was kind of thinking of this on the fly. Upon further thought maybe it is ok to charge for tickets, but IMO the games should not be on TV. College sports should be about the purity of the game. The minute you add in TV $ that goes away. How many of these games actually get decent ratings in these sports anyway? There isn't much of a TV market.

For the Sporting Club sports maybe you make that the top division only to be fair. So FCS and down in football can be a College sport but no TV, except championships. You want to see your team play you need to go to the game or listen on the radio (kinda like 1980s FBS). For the other Sporting Club sports either create a separate D1 division or move schools into DII. For example, in Men's BBall maybe have D1AA for the schools who are big enough to be D1, but do not want to be Sporting Club (schools like Colgate, etc). Again no TV.

Edit
Lacrosse would be the sport most impacted. I would think only a dozen or so schools would actually go Sporting Club. The good thing is you can play every team and the Final Four can be the Top 4.

Edit II
Actually looking it over I think you would see 20-25 Lax teams. So maybe a 12 team NCAAT in that case.
