People, especially Southerners who love their college football, will get to see what life is like with no college football Saturdays.
Have you taken a look at the popularity of the NFL? There would be much gnashing of teeth if the NFL and College Football shut down for the fall.

I didn't even really miss it and allowed me to prioritize time on the weekends better. College athletics won't die. People are moving away from sports in general because of the virtue signaling from higher leagues trickling down to lower leagues.

The NBA is seeing a drop but how much of that is protest related? I would guess not much. I mean we heard the same about the NFL and they did fine after a brief drop. Heard that about Nike and how they were done. Didn’t happen. Bottom line is most people just don't care if someone else wants to protest. It has zero impact on anybody’s life unless they want it to. It is only divisive because a small group decides it is and then scream bloody murder.
Besides, athletes shoving their beliefs in everyone’s face has been going on my entire life. The only difference now is people are so polarized and overtly sensitive that they are willing to cancel a team or sport over it.

But if there is a boycott for everything *wrong that ever happens, then market value will eventually drop. Dudes that want to play ball will play ball. Will the on field product go down? Sure. But there are dudes that will want to play ball on TV and get a free education in the process.
These players don't really have the leverage that the media is telling them that they have. Their spots can be filled by THOUSANDS of kids across the country that played ball growing up that didnt get a scholarship.
*Getting shot 7 times is wrong. But you don't get shot seven times without resisting arrest for an active warrant.
