When it comes to money and paying people the masses have math issues that prevent them from realizing just how much money is needed to even pay a little to every athlete. This model and any other is eventually going to kill the smaller universities where money is already a major problem.
Take UConn for an example. They are arguably the top program right now in Men's and Women's basketball and they don't make money in their athletic department. How does a school that isn't the top of their sport expected to even come close to having money to pay athletes? Most decisions made by governments have unintended consequences and this one will have some very big ones.
