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.

I gave up on the NBA years ago. Now the NFL is right behind. Since I'm not into minor league sports, if college basketball goes in the tank there is nothing left. Doping will take down all the rest. The sports world is imploding. Oh well, think of all the discretionary money out there looking for a place to land.
