People want to pay kids because of capitalism. But in what world do you have complete independent contract workers paid directly by a third party?

What about each school having a payroll section that collects all money for NIL, pay for play, etc. for college football.
1)Direct payment by a booster results in ineligibility for a year and for any future pay. Wins are also forfeited as well as scholarships. It has to go through the school.
2) At the end of the year the payroll section pays 5th year players 25% of the funds collected, 4 year players get 22%, 3 year players get 20%, 2nd year players get 18% and first year players get 15%.
3) Transfers have to sit out one year unless you are a graduate student.
4) Transfers forfeit their pay for the prior year unless the coach is fired or leaves.
5) Kids who are cut or “processed” get severance pay.
6) If a player opt out of a bowl game or games, the player forfeits 5% of their pay that year.

Nobody would agree to this, but I love the effort put into the pitch.

There’s a reason NCAA was an amateur league to begin with — that reason is school.

If you put the football team on the payroll, does tuition money get allocated to cover their salaries? Because

Sadly, what makes the most logical sense is a semi-pro league that is entirely decoupled from the NCAA. I would honestly prefer to follow an actual amateur collegiate league with JuCo rosters than what we have now — the NFL already exists and I can’t believe I’m saying this the NFL does it better.
