There is no need for revenue sharing.

If payment is ABOVE THE TABLE and the payments COME FROM THE SCHOOL there is essentially no impact on competitive balance in football.

The group of schools that hoover up the 5 and 4 star players will pay for them and have the greatest resources to pay them.

The budget capacity basically follows current recruiting outcomes already.

What might change is the amount of patience that a top program has for a bust. Most schools hang on to a few busts every year just to help graduation numbers and to show they aren't in it only for the winning. You aren't going to shell out $35,000 a year to an offensive lineman who isn't mean enough or tough enough to play at the elite level. You cut him, hire a replacement and move on and he can transfer to a Sun Belt or MAC and get a full ride toward an education plus $4,000.

The possibility of a school quitting football increases because some school is going to find a president who makes the decision to go all in and pay more than they can afford expecting the resulting success will pay for it and it doesn't happen and suddenly they can't make budget.

Jeremy Bloom did mentioned in his interview how much money that Florida State makes compare to Colorado Mines. The only way for the players to get paid equally at all levels since the California law only help those who are big names and other athletes can not. The way to do it is the schools themselves have to pay the players more. But the whole NCAA system have to change since Power 5 can not control all the money anymore. All the schools have to change. This means all levels of the NCAA, USCAA, NAIA and NCCAA include schools who are not in any orgs yet. You could set up the top level would be 15,000 students or more. Some of the private FBS and military academies are out of the top tier as this would be the pros. A League would be between 8000 to 15,000 range. AA range would be 2000 to 8000 students. AAA would be schools with students below 2000 which NAIA rules could be for them. Each level, the players will be paid equally. AAA players will be paid less than the top level. 15,000 + students schools will have all players be paid the same. That also means schools like Boise State can go into the CFP. No more elite schools or power 5 schools since these laws would neuter their status. You do have D2 schools like Wayne State, Michigan be put at the highest level and schools like Tulsa, Air Force, Army and Navy be put into AA. Unless the military schools get exempt because they are not the same as other schools. That means Tulsa would be the odd man out at the top. Central Oklahoma would take their place in the pro level.
