The state of college football is a direct result of the refusal of the NFL to create a developmental league like the NBA and MLB did.
There's a huge disconnect between what ought happen and what will happen. What OUGHT happen is that colleges should drop gridiron football entirely; they aren't going to.
Accepting that they're not going to, what should happen is that the FBS should be spun off from the NCAA and established as a developmental league of the NFL, retaining a sponsorship & branding relationship with their host schools but ultimately becoming a commercial enterprise.
Not every program will survive this transition. And some programs will eventually decide to move.
