A great viable change I'd love to see come out of this would be for more of the huge amount of money that is being generated through the NCAA to actually go towards athlete welfare in the form of lock-tight medical insurance, realistic stipends, post-eligibility scholarships, and long term support. The IOC and just about every national governing body for Olympic sports is just as bad or worse as the NCAA and they need the same reforms. I don't think the solution is to pay them unless you go straight up minor league. But I think the athletes should be the ones benefiting from all their effort, not a bunch of people who skim off the top.

I mean, it isn't going to happen, zero chance, but I wish it actually would.

This would be my preference as well. Medical support, a stipend, you scholarship fully guaranteed until you declare early or leave/get kicked off the team (with some sort of impartial review process to ensure coaches aren't kicking off the bad ones) that wouldn't count against the scholarship limit if the student is physically unable to play...very idealistic I know, but it'd go a long way toward making things a bit more fair.
