Ask the dumb dumbs that figured out how to cap NFL teams.

The money in CFB isn't coming from the Universities. It's coming from collectives operating on behalf of the universities.

What we've learned from the court cases is that while the NCAA might be able to make rules on what their members can do, they can't make rules on contracts between a player and a third party.

The NFL doesn't legislate what Nike or Gatorade can spend on advertising for a NFL player. That's the comparison that is working with college football.

Even in the days of Mcdonalds bags full of cash, it almost never came from the school. It came from others working on behalf of the school. And the courts have been VERY clear on putting no regulations on their behavior.
