and those schools don't already possess such an advantage?

this is basically professional sports for everyone except the athlete.

the time for Notre Dame to lead on this issue and keep this as an amateur sport was about 30 years ago. The cat is out of the bag. Certain schools in power conferences generate a ton of revenue, enjoy massive recruiting advantages, and have fantastic facilities (go look up what Auburn is building--a freaking recording studio and a flight simulator inside of it's football complex).

This is a big business. That's what has people's attention. This idea that some schools would gain some sort of advantage that they don't already have is silly.
