New study estimates college football team valuations, three teams are over $1 billion

Again, the fact that coaches of male programs get paid (much) more than their females counterparts has been challenged in court and it was found to not be in violation of Title IX.
Though honestly, this is always just concern trolling, you'll notice how people that push this argument are always against paying players for other reasons too. Really, the idea that we all want to pay the players but gosh darn it those damn judges don't let us is beyond silly.

I knew OSU was number one before I even clicked. Ohio State football is fucking HUGE.
Again, Collegiate student scholarships are rather rigidly scrutinized for gender parity, and pay would be to students. Student scholarship are more analogous. It's not as cut and dry as courts have found pay for college coaches to not need equality, therefore there's no potential issue.

Oh, so I'm glad we can take care of the Lamar Jacksons who can get huge endorsement deals. Sucks for that backup Left Guard who sacrifices just as much of his time, takes the same classload, but isn't marketable. But as long as we take care of the stars, it should all work out.
Your solution doesn't really solve anything.
Again, it's not easy.
They're scrutinized for sure, but even there, there isn't an equal number of athletic scholarship for men as there are for women, and again, courts have repeatedly ruled that schools are allowed to spend more money on men programs, which of course they do.
At the end of the day though, it will be whatever the court rules, but the main point is that arguing that this is what blocking schools from paying athletes is disingenuous. If we as a society decided to pay college athletes, we could easily do it, even if it requires some tweaking to title IX (which again, I don't think it does).

And that's the kind of mindset that keeps an area from having a team.
When they leave, you won't miss them.

Would flop spectacularly.
The reason college sports thrive is that they have a built in audience/fanbase.

Exact same thing with Alabama, but for the entire state. Makes Texas even more impressive.
To be fair, Ohio State ain't much better.

So Alabama has an NHL team that they ignore as well?

No. Fucking. Lies. Detected.

This list having BC above West Virginia automatically invalidates the entire thing in my eyes.
Results like that really need to be explained because there is no way that's true.

You can earmark donations to help parts of the college that you felt were underfunded.
I tend to disagree with it myself, but i'm also going to start working in a college's advancement department on Monday, so i shouldn't get too critical
