Yea, well the schools are pushing for it…I hope you’re right.

That is incorrect.
Even before the era of open NIL, you had guys who turned down scholarship offers to smaller schools to go walk on at the Alabamas and LSUs of the world. Heck, LSUs starting RB Josh Williams came in as a walk on.
There have been several news reports about collectives as some schools (BYU was one I think) providing essentially the cash equivalent of a scholarship to walk-ons.
Most Sun Belt level schools aren’t able to provide NIL deals to more than a few players.

The school can’t say “hey, we’re making you the highest paid QB in the country per this here NIL deal and we will be covering the cost of your entire stay here bc we don’t have scholarships left?”
^^ where does ? go in that last sentence? I’ve never known there to correctly put it.

Maybe if they have a ton of NIL money.
But nobody is going to pay $200M a year to fill a roster.
