Pay the players, give out no more scholarships for the athletes, just pay them instead. The players no longer have to attend any classes, as they really are not students. The players can be fired(released), traded, etc.

And get rid of all non-revenue sports. Each sport has to pay their own way from now on. If women's soccer and men's cross-country can't turn a profit, then they are axed.

And men's basketball gets to keep 100% of its revenue. No more using men's basketball to fund everything else.
It's the NBA's fault. If they would allow HS'ers to go directly to the pros, like any other professional sport, this goes away. What's left are kids who go to school AND play basketball.
