Abolish the NCAA and force the NFL and NBA to pay for their own academy/youth development system.

That won't fix a thing as far as this issue is concerned. You want to argue they should thats fine but it is a separate issue and it won't stop or even curb the cheating.
Again blaming the system is absurd. They are cheating to gain an advantage and will continue to do so until the penalty is actually severe enough to not do so.
This is especially true of the major programs that have been doing this for years and because of their status and their lawyers get away with slaps on the wrist at worst while small schools get hammered.
If they blame the system rather than the actual cheaters thats a cop out and nothing more than a way to once again excuse the abuse of of the rules by major programs. Something I GUARANTEE they would not say had this been Weber State, Eastern Washington, or Cal state Fullerton.
This pathetic excuse is no different than convicted criminals blaming the man. Its the mans fault. The system made me do it. I'm not responsible!
If they want to stop cheating they actually have to punish the main ones doing it and that is the big time programs at the top. No excuses, no projection of blame onto "the system".
You want to talk about stipends, fairness, and all that it is a totally separate issue and I guarantee it will in no way stop the players from wanting more, or the programs from doing everything they can to gain an advantage.
The cheating will go on until it is no longer in their best interest to do so.
