I'm not sure. They're already both competitive in recruiting outside of their region. Michigan's problem, much like with Texas, has been coaching, for years. The reality is there's always going to be more talent available than there are scholarships, across the nation. Northern schools may never bridge the talent gap Alabama is building in football, but I think major schools in major conferences will always have the ability to find players.
The NCAA may also take a hand in keeping the playing field even. That's really what we're seeing, aside from Alabama: parity. Which is I think good for the survival of the sport as a whole. No more building dynasties may suck for the likes of Ohio State (Michigan hasn't been one in decades...) but if it helps keep eyes on the sport and butts in the seats, then it's worth it.
