Let the NFL "professionalize" a developmental league. Players can enter a draft from high school or any time in college career.
The remaining athletes who want an education can be recruited with revenue sharing and any legitimate NIL deals they can make based on their celebrity, or equipment autographs at the local burger doodle. If the PTB including legislative-regulatory bodies are committed to student athletes, then they craft laws that support "student athletes".
None of that will occur but college sports, particularly football, are unrecognizable right now.

If anything, it makes NIL even more important and a bigger advantage.
How does the NFL handle NIL type things? When a guy is in Free Agency does an NFL team give them a contract offer and then also give them NIL deals? If that’s the case, we never hear about the NIL part of it.
Seems like in the NFL, NIL is completely up to the player on their own time. Seems like if the players are getting paid salary, there should be a rule against schools using NIL in that manner. Obviously that would be hard to police but there has to be a way to make it less of a Wild West that the “fans” have to foot the bill for.

College football becomes completely meaningless when it becomes minor league pro ball.
IMO, this is the trajectory of CFB. It inherited a lot of momentum so it'll take time but unless there are fundamental changes made, it will become MiNFL.

People are forgetting that once they become W2 Employees like the NFL, they will Unionize. That brings the law of unintended consequences. Imagine a players strike for higher pay.

The problem is that college football doesn’t pull in nearly as much money as the NFL so players are never going to get paid as much as NFL players. That means these NIL deals are more important. A brand deal to an NFL player might be pennies compared to his actual contract, and they are getting those deals no matter what team they play for.

Final weekend of September, so your schedule has them starting in June? Could be a little warm

How many players play college football fbs level? How many NFL roster spots are there each year needing to be filled? The issue really becomes “will the nfl expand?

The final game is the last weekend Sept? When does the season start?

Championship Weekend: The final game is played the last weekend of September.
What I agree with:
* Make players employees paid directly by school to enforce buyout clauses, which prevents players from leaving unless another school wants to shell out big money to buy the player out
* Salary cap to prevent billionaires from buying teams and leaving others out if they are even able to donate to the university for it to be used to pay the players
What I disagree with:
Why would the championship weekend be late September? That's week 4.
I also strongly disagree with 67% of your CFP bids being auto bids based on finishing top 2 in conference. In my world, there are 0% auto bids, and solely at-large, merit/ranking.
Based on your CFP structure, yours this year would've included Duke in this CFP of yours as well as Tulane and JMU. A playoff with 25% of the teams being Duke, JMU, and Tulane is awful.
