Just removing the amateur label and letting athletes endorse products and receive money for when the university uses their likeness would be fine with me. Obviously, players at Texas have a better chance to market and make more money that way than players at Colorado, but at the same time if a five star athlete went to Colorado and was the biggest face at the school he might have more opportunities than being one of several five stars at Texas.
I also don't think it would affect recruiting that much
I'd love it, I would like to be able to recruit a player saying you will make a lot of money playing nationally televised games for every home game. Your endorsement contract will be significantly higher than if you sign with Colorado, Ole Miss, or anyone in the Big 12 (not named Texas). I can just image everyone getting excited to play in the Johnny Manziel Orange Bowl.
