"everything else."

The NCAA is basically on it's deathbed at this point, and if you aren't in the top 80 teams I'm not sure what your options will be for forming a conference/paying players/etc. The top 80 teams will almost need to subsidize the lower leagues to keep them afloat.

And of course the questions remain about the non-revenue generating sports. My guess is that they can continue to exist on a club type of basis with the athletes free to make NIL money if they can get it.

If it was just big time football and men's basketball, this would have been done a long time ago; juggling all the rest of it and getting the public to go along with it have been what caused the delay.
