They already have it and don't pay for it. It's called Power 5.
Supply greatly outweighs demand on coaching, yet colleges are willing to build Taj Mahal facilities, pay middling coaches millions, and willing to risk debt. College athletics simply doesn't adhere to simple supply & demand economics, I've never gotten it. I guess I understand the payoff of a big time winning coach and a good coordinator or two, but after that is one receiver coach really better than another. I once was watching a Power 5 practice and the receivers coach was standing right there as his group dropped 8 straight passes. He said nothing. He's now a highly paid head coach of a Power 5 school on the west coast. I thought his initial receiver coaching was a joke, seen junior high guys better ... now he's big time. I don't get the business, and I agree with Iron Ore, though the NFL will never give up its free minor league system called college football.
I liked college football just as much if not more decades ago with semi-normal looking size linemen and average paid coaches. If it's going to be Clemson vs. Alabama until the end of time, I'm out.

So ummmm, it looks like New Haven (NE10) is eyeing a move to Division 1.

I'm sure they'll contend with Clemson for the national title in football and Kentucky in men's hoops ... in reality, they're hoping for a 50-point loss in the first round of the NCAA tournament and Big Dance money. Crazy business model.

my daughter went to the smallest D1 school in the nation at the time on a volleyball scholarship but by the time she was a senior they had dropped down to D3 (should have dropped to D2) - they gave all students the opportunity to move to another D1 school if they so chose - the NCAA said they could go and play immediately - she stayed, the academics were very good and she just played a sport she loved (yes, she kept her full scholarship thus the team couldn't do playoffs until after her senior year)

Everyone in the MEAC and SWAC barely have any money. The NEC I believe does not have the full 63 scholarships, and have stadiums the size of D2 ones. Morehead State is in the PFL despite being in the OVC for other sports. For non-football, the entire WAC except NMSU and GCU are D2 material, in fact that conference is basically putting a lot of schools in debt and killing off western D2 in an attempt to stay afloat, Nearly all of the low-majors should go down to D2, except the Ivies and NDSU and the like. Chasing a pipe-dream, or being stubborn, it is not the place for small, regional universities to pretend to have extra money (by blowing student fees everywhere). Yes, it would happen in D2 as well but at least they would be closer to living within their means. All D2 versus D3 still allows for a scholarship to reward a player for their efforts, which they should get.

Just curious has Cal Berkley and/or UCLA ever done anything to prevent UC Davis from rising to their level athletically?
I know some states have legally blocked lower level public universities from moving up divisions in NCAA, pretty much allowing only the state's flagship schools to be the only major D1 presence. I feel that over the years Grand Valley State is constantly mentioned as a D2 school that could easily transition to D1 but the state of Michigan won't allow them to do so. Same thing with Wisconsin-Whitewater in D3.

Nicholls State University in Louisiana should definitely be a DII school. As broke as the state of LA is, I can't understand how this school can afford the requirements needed to be in the FCS. Although McNeese has had more recent success in football, they could be a candidate for D2.

The state of Michigan couldn't care less what GVSU does for athletics. They barely give GVSU any money and Division I athletics is generally funded by donations as well as fees built into tuition. GVSU's decision to stay in D2 was strictly made within.
