This will probably happen. I have no idea how to make college sports fair to everyone. Right now, it's only fair to athletes that go on to the pros or to athletes in second-tier sports that actually get useful degrees. All of the other athletes are getting exploited for free labor in exchange for worthless degrees (if they make it that far).
Look up the highest-paid public employee in each state. Almost without exception, it is the football coach for the largest university in the state.
