Are you ok with the NCAA getting rid of the rule that an athletic scholarship has to be honored if the player gets cut for performance?

If not. why not? 

Neither the system is broken beyond repair due to greed.  If it football are ancillary to education then most of the revenue should go back into education.  The state of FBS College Football is an endemic to the biggest problem our country face’s “greed is good screw the consequences” prime directive.  The logical legal end to that in “fair” system is for the players to be paid and have guaranteed contracts just like coaches. 4-Star players and above would like get multi-year contracts and 2-star would likely only get one year contracts.   The situation for walk-ons wouldn’t change.  Under those conditions only the employee - employer contract matter.   They could dismiss a player  during spring camp but the salary remains payable as long as the student stays academically eligible paid on two week schedule.
