Could it ever get to the point where the 4 big conferences say "Frick the NCAA"?

Who put them in charge? And could the main conferences just start their own Association to govern athletics?

So you want a new Association formed and run by the same Universities who formed and run the current Association?

Anything is possible but that would be "change" that is not really change. It would also alienate over 100 Universities that are counted on for many sports. Most importantly basketball and the NCAA tournament.

If the bowls got behind it, yeah I could see it happening.

seems like a double edged sword if the NCAA goes by the wayside. what happens when a lawsuit comes to the court regarding the rules for student athletes (or some other sports related issue)? do the new conferences collude to have consistent rules?

No, I think I would need to run it honestly, or someone like me. Ethical, moral, astute, brutally honest, handsome as the day is long and finally, completely incorruptible.

Then you are part of the problem.

SEC, Big 12, PAC 12 and B1G./end big four conferences

After realignment settles and there are likely 4 16 team conferences then yes, they could leave the NCAA and do their own thing. Probably wont happen in my opinion though
