I've been laying out the only logical solution I can see for a couple of years now.

Teams-->form league-->teams employ players--> players unionize/CBA

To get that ball rolling, I don't see how you can avoid splitting the teams off into a separate legal entity that has a license deal with the schools to use the team name, colors, logos, stadium etc.

A professional sport just can't stay inside of the academic shell (Title IX/federal funding) anymore.

My first thought too. What's to stop the kid from intentionally throwing a pick or fumbling every time he touches the ball? Or as you said, turn himself into a locker room cancer. So now a school is keeping a kid on the bench that they are paying big bucks for. If the guy doesn't want to be let him go and sue for breach of contract.

ITA Team rankings are set to release today.
Buckeyes should be top 5 based on fall performances, new additions and some crazy quality of depth.
