ESPN is not showing those sports on their streaming and cable television platforms out of charity.
All college athletes should be unionized if their school is part of any media deal. Negotiated deals will vary by conference, but all college athletes should get a proportional share of the revenue.

I assume you meant to say, "Each team gets a proportional share of the net revenues" (though leave it up to somebody to say that net can be gamed more easily than gross), and then the union and the employer can negotiate individual compensation by dividing that share of the net revenue.
But while union compensation structures tend to flatten compensation across employees, they will not be truly flat in a just agreement.
A starter will need more than a bench-warmer; a quarterback more than a tackle.
