Assuming the NCAA had $0 in expenses and could distribute their total revenue to the athletes, that comes to $5,681 per athlete annually. All athletes would have to be paid something, even if their sport is losing money. That's Title IX coming into play. So, if you didn't divvy it up evenly, it would be interesting how it was divvied up. Now, as for expenses, the NCAA distributes about half of their revenues to the universities, so you would have to go to the university level to see how much could be distributed by each school - many of which already lose money annually (see Rutgers).
