The larger programs from the Big 5 help fund every smaller school they play.
Same goes for all the bowl games. It is all divided amongst the conferences.
At some point player compensation will occur and become standardized, i feel they are closer to where they were say 10 years ago but still years away. So many layers to go through to make it a reality.
Well the NCAA wouldn't have to allow anything, they don't control what the NFL or any other entity that wants to start a competing product does. However here are a number of massive barriers to entry, and a lot of reasons to keep investors away.
