What's unsustainable is the concept of amateurism and the concept of the NCAA being the governing body of college athletics (at least for the major revenue sports). The NCAA has to be taken totally out of the equation. Let's make play for pay legitimate. That  requires college administrators to create a whole new business model that treats players as employees, with all the rights and privileges of any employer/employee relationship. Colleges would act independently from one another and set their own rules of operation within the bounds of government rules and regulations.

From a players perspective, we're not too far removed from a free market system. Players are able to come and go with few restrictions. Their pay (ie NIL deals) is on a sliding scale which recognizes their value to the program. The added benefit for the less valuable player is still a free education as a minimum.

All this sound pretty radical. Probably, but not totally out of the realm of possibility.
