Can't the students start their own league? Internet broadcast the plays, etc. I mean NCAA is just a relic of the old TV epoch and is ready to be disrupted. Maybe we'll see some startup for it.

For a new sport sure, e-sports don’t play by NCAA rules.
However like most monopolies it’s not just network effects, they heavily protect themselves. Anything that makes you a professional athlete permanently kicks you out of NCAA scholarships etc. So, students are going to have a huge issue getting something off the ground, but they have a lot more leverage if students suddenly boycotted the Rose Bowl etc.
