Let the major sports be U23 professional leagues. That takes away the farce of academics and stops all this madness.

You will end up with about:

75 baseball teams
110 basketball teams
90 football teams
25 hockey teams (if profitable)
25 lacrosse teams (if profitable)
25 soccer teams (although maybe you leave this sport out)

Plus softball, women's basketball, women's soccer, women's ice hockey (assuming you keep men's too).

Everyone else plays NCAA sponsored competitions at a lower level. Kids can still make NIL but who is paying kids money for what is basically D2 major sports and olympic other sports.

So you are basically looking at schools from the P5, MWC, AAC, Big East, A10, and some randoms. Schools from the MAC, Sun Belt, CUSA would be lower level.

For SU we would keep basketball, football, lacrosse, softball, women's basketball, women's soccer. Maybe women's ice hockey. I would say no to men's soccer. Given the lack of talent in college soccer I cannot see the sport being profitable. So that would be an NCAA sport.
