let's pretend the Supreme Court would agree with California and forbid non-profit universities from having amateur sports teams that students can volunteer to play for as amateurs, in exchange for an athletic scholarship. I think there's no chance that our right-leaning SCOTUS would decide that way, but let's pretend for a moment they would...
There are only going to be a handful of ultra-liberal states that pass legislation like this, possibly only California & New York. You'll see some far-left state reps propose it in other states, but it will never get through their state legislatures.
The vast majority of states will preserve the long-standing tradition of athletic amateurism at their prestigious non-profit universities.
The NCAA will carry on as usual, without the CA and NY schools. Honestly, no one watches the Pac-12 anyway... that's why their TV network is basically worthless.
The show will go on, and the states that made it illegal to comply with the NCAA's amateurism rules will start feeling enormous pressure from their constituents to abolish those laws so they can once again participate in NCAA sporting events.
As I said, the NCAA (and the states that support it) have far more leverage than you seem to think.
It doesn't matter though since the SCOTUS will nullify these laws before they take effect.
