how do they bridge the gap to afford other sports that depend on football revenue? Those just have to go away now?
No, there's more than enough money to go around. Each SEC school will start making almost 100 million annually during the new deal with ESPN. Athletes across the board will sign a contract just like we all do when we're hired for a job. As long as it's collectively bargained, there should be no problems with compensation. Boosters can go back to paying for facilities and all of the other things they supplemented pre NIL. Get rid of each schools collective.

In theory, yes. But I think it will be a lot more complicated in reality. Namely Title IX. In a free marketplace the football and men's basketball players would command the highest salaries because those two (by and large) are the only profitable sports. However, you would have blowback from the female athletes to demand equal pay...under the auspices of federal law. So if the No 9 player on the women's golf team is getting paid the exact same "salary" as the All-SEC QB, what strong incentive do the football players have to collectively bargain? They like the current marketplace where they can be paid more of their market value without having to sign a contract.
