Wait until the college players association goes on strike for more pay, fewer games ,no practice time and better housing.

Players go on strike, then they're not getting paid, and shouldn't get
Scholarships during the strike. If you're getting a scholarship to play football and you're on strike from playing football, then no scholarship during that time.

Honest question - do GPA and credit requirements still apply with NIL?
If so, cancelling scholarships would devastate a team/college's football program.

Of course they do; totally independent things

Welp. Professional leagues have done it.
And what we are seeing is the professionalization of college sports. For better or for worse (mostly worse). Sad that college administrators couldn't figure a sane path to all this stuff on their own terms. But they didn't. Now, it's all sort of just happening to them. Or so it appears. Either way, why do I sense that there are going to more losers than winners when it's all said and done?

Yep. This could have been fixed a long time ago. But the powers that be
wanted to ride the gravy train until the end I guess.

Yep, they kept kicking the can down the road until someone
with enough incentive, cash, time and discipline finally got the NIL issue settled by the courts.
