Totally agree. IMO, they simply need someone to take charge and tap into the potential.

It will take a while, but sooner or later the college presidents, the NCAA or God forbid the congress will have to make major changes. If not, we will have one super conference of about 25 teams and the rest of the teams will divide into conferences with their own set of rules like full or half scholarships and title ix will have a very hard time.
Well, of course you get more pleasure when you're part of the actual event. That is cool that you ref and umpire. Much more exciting than sitting in the stands or watching on tv with the rest of us rubes.
Going to?
Free agency IE the non-stop & non-penalty transfer portal, combined with NIL, is what is truly ruining college sports.
Pretty sure I read that schools, or at least NIL sponsors, can reach out to athletes at other schools to entice them with money & incentives to transfer there while the player's sports season is still occurring.
Outside tampering is fine and dandy, but heaven forbid a college athlete bets on a sport they don't participate in.
You're probably right, but those companies you named are all public companies, and as such are all trying their hardest to book profits. How does paying NIL help them grow and be more profitable? If you owned stock in those companies and live in say, Iowa, would you be ok having "your" company drop a few million into Minnesota football? I know I wouldn't.
The sources of big NIL money are private businesses and individual boosters. I'm sure there are plenty of those in Minnesota too, but are they passionate about Goofer FB? Doesn't seem so.
There hasn't been parity in CF in a long time, if ever. But now it is most certainly gone. Schools like Minny, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Purdue, Maryland, NW, Rutgers - just took a step back in terms of being able to compete with the big boys of CF. But, hey, at least the players are happy.
Minneapolis corporations get luxury suites at NFL and NHL to impress their clients.
Gophers don’t impress anybody.

Governing bodies not figuring out a way to cap legal NIL budgets truly screwed up.
Sure cheaters would still circumvent but that is because the NCAA became a push over and didn’t SMU some programs.
Genie is so far out of the bottle now and legal fees to rope this back in seem unattainable.
