Lost in the article is the fact that one source of sports revenue at all schools is what might be termed a "student activities fee." A good portion of that fee underwrites intercollegiate sports teams. Obviously that fee is not generating enough money to help balance the books at most DI schools.But also at most schools those monies do support what are known as club sports teams. Those are teams that regulate themselves and play other schools, generally within a reasonable travel distances. The National Intramural/Recreation Association sponsors regional and national championships for most club sports teams. Student activity fee budgets allow for sport club teams to participate in such national championships.As student activity fees dedicated to fund sport club activiites are generally overseen by a combined student dominated board, it can be assumed were so-called minor (some term them Olympic sports) to be eventual victims of NIL, club sports would be expanded  to allow those sports to survive. Albeit it in a student-driven form and to serve the sport interests of the student body. Such an expansion of club sport participants would mean that the collective teams  would have have an expanded political presence on college campuses in terms of ensuring how their activity monies were spent.And were what is described to take place college athletics would return to oversight by its rightful participants.
