FBS is almost independent of the NCAA now. College football is run by the conferences, ESPN and Fox with some influence from the College Football Playoff committee.
What would it mean for the FBS to leave the NCAA? The NCAA currently sets and nominally enforces rules for eligibility. The NCAA set and doesn't really enforce the NIL rules. It organizes committees of coaches to tweak the rules of competition. It sanctions bowl games. Conferences can organize themselves to do all of this. I don't think this would be a radical change.
