The obvious solution that won’t happen

Edit: Who would sign an online letter asking congress to make a Title IX exclusion with respect to football and to call for a new football-only collegiate governing body (NCAA can be for all others) ???
^^ Goal would be to get enough signees to get some press and possibly get some in people in positions of authority talking.

The obvious solution to college sports is to treat football differently.
The number of scholarships and the revenue/profits the sport generates makes it a beast unlike any other.
Football also complicates Title IX issues because there’s no female equivalent and obviously no girls are good enough to play (except a rare backup kicker).
So..
What can be done about it? Is there anything we as a community can do to stop the nonsense of treating football the same?

I mean it's obvious football will eventually break away and become teams associated with schools instead of part of the schools themselves.

Don’t really see that happening unless congress decides to insert themselves into NIL. I thinks it’s more realistic to have football branch off into an independent sport not governed by the NCAA.

I really hope that Congress spends time on sports rather than important things.

Bad take.
First, Congress can do multiple things at once.
Second, it’s not necessarily true that Congress can fix these “important “ things or that if they spend more time on them that they will make better decisions.
Third, Title IX was created by Congress and they have the responsibility to cure any adverse effects of the law they passed.

Isn’t it set equal to two women’s programs with no male crossover?

A highly visible, grand scale unimportant item that can easily be screwed up more? Of course Congress is going to get involved. It'll probably take a high profile case of one of these kids not paying taxes, but that should be coming sooner than later.

You mean you really want the government to further insert themselves into college sports?

Can Congress really do anything at all? I'm not sure they've proven that.

When they break away they will classify the players as employees and thus title IX won’t apply

I can’t help but feel this new NFL-lite product being created is going to generate much less intrigue than the one that made CFB popular.

And that’s when I’ll stop watching

College football is abandoning their core audience to chase an audience that'll never watch anyways. Sounds a lot like what NASCAR did.
I can't imagine the TV ratings continuing to improve as more teams and fanbases continue to get squeezed out.

for football to separate from Title IX completely they would, however, not be able to receive any public funding. A lot of programs simply wouldn't be able to afford to do that.

To some degree yes, in other ways it will be better. Check the week 1 schedule, that sort of thing will be going away.
