I think the laws of supply and demand will come into play.

With a bigger supply of capable players (due to extended eligibility), the demand for players will go down. I think also the overall interest in college sports may start to wane if eligibility gets extended indefinitely. College sports in the US are very popular due to people connection to the schools. Once you start really separating sports from the schools, then the sports become just another minor league.

I think it will trend towards the European systems- where the top tier are all well paid players.
The 2nd tier will be mid-majors that can pay some good players, then a 3rd and even a 4th tier with some DII’s joining the lower tiers.
Many schools will fail, some will drop sports.
Rules will change constantly but fans will some day dry up just like they’re doing on overpaid pro tennis, men’s pro soccer in the US, and even MLB.
