The NCAA has been content to let the money roll in and didn't give a darn about the student athletes or its members. I too have some hesitations about kinds and lucrative NIL deals, but the players at major D1 football programs are the only ones who haven't been making money of these games, apparel, TV deals, merchandise, etc.
Many years ago I was a traditionalist who said the players shouldn't get paid, maybe an increase in the stipend or some spending money. Now I say bring it on. Greed took over college football and there isn't a major D1 program that hasn't benefited from it.
The NCAA could fold as far as I'm concerned and be replaced by an actual logical, functioning governing board who actually cares about student athletes as opposed to money. I won't live to see the day.
