A couple things I see that will put pressure on the current system:

1. Smaller schools will get fed up with losing their investment when a player transfers and ask for compensation.
2. Whatever organization is trying to oversee football will want a resolution and end to the non-stop lawsuits. Today it is uncontrollable due to all the court cases.

There may be other solutions, but the one that jumps out to me is a collective bargaining agreement. The players would need to organize and have a collective representation to negotiate for them.
Only issue with a CBA, is it lessens the players leverage. They have no reason whatsoever to organize when their making more money than ever now. It will have to get to a point where Collectives no longer see a ROI, and I just don't see that happening anytime soon. For example, Mark Cuban will only up his donation since he helped in getting IU an NC and their best season in history in Cig's 2nd year. Cody Campbell isn't slowing down his spending with TTU after getting them in the CFP last year and they just landed arguably the best RB in TX for 2027. USC and ND are getting all time classes. Miami was just in the NC after being laughed at by so many fanbases for "buying their roster". And I can keep going, but it doesn't look like enough school's are suffering to stop paying kids big money.

And smaller schools are getting better talent than ever before. If a kid asks for compensation, they can show him the door because there's guaranteed another kid willing to take his spot. And the opposite is true as well, a coach from Wofford, would take a kid from Mizzou(i.e. schools like: Tenn St, Tartleton St and Stephen F Austin and South Dakota to name a few that landed P4 transfers)
