There are some positives that could come out of this:

not one I can think of

Here's what I see as some of the biggest hang-ups and issues to your proposal (hint: it's the same issue that revolves around all paying player issues).

One, the schools, which are still subject to state and federal laws, would have a difficult (likely impossible) time still getting around Title 9 on paying players, which means a school is still going to have to maintain the balance of female to male scholarships, while also having to pay the female players.

Two, in light of that situation, or even if they didn't have to maintain that and they were somehow able to only have to pay football players, then all of the profit generated by football and used to offset the expenses of the athletic dept. as a whole would no longer exist and therefore those programs would have a hard time existing without the use of state funding (tax dollars) to do so and would become very mediocre to bad programs.

If your solution to issue #2 would be to cap how much the players are paid in order to not have it eat into profits too much, then you negate your argument of players complaining as they would still gripe then they are not receiving their fair share. Additionally, the incentive for staying 4 years would also not remain if the ability to make significantly more in the NFL is still present.

Just my 2 cents.

Make it a league of 18 and leave out Texas A&M and FSU

WTF have they done in the past 10-15 years to get invited to that league? Cincy, North Carolina, Boise and Ole Miss off the top of my head have done more than them.
