The move needs to begin at the university level.
Let Adidas, Nike, UA, NFL and NBA run things. For FBS expand the rosters to 105, pay each player $200,000 a year on one year contracts, let them attend class if they want to in their spare time. Give every NFL team a chance to draft which teams they want to fund.

They can go after the shoe companies, but that is only attacking the symptom and not the cause. The money will still find its way to these kids somehow. So long as the NBA forces the ridiculous one-and-done rule, I think the NCAA needs to make freshmen ineligible to play. Then they will go overseas to play, and maybe, just maybe, the NBA will finally create a viable alternative for these kids.
Separately, the NCAA needs to declare that AAU participation makes players ineligible for college scholarships.
The current system is broken and stinks.
ND, UM, Stanford, Vandy, NW, Army, Air Force, Navy, Virginia, BC, GT, Ivies, Purdue, Cal, Wake Forest, Texas (maybe), IU, Duke (unless implicted in these hearings), and a few others I am sure. Others will follow.

But at the younger ages there are lots of problems with Hockey Canada. I was immersed in minor hockey as a coach for about a decade. At the highest levels, it's a cesspool. I wouldn't use it as a model for anything. Except cesspools.
