In 2023, what separates pro football from college football?

I omitted one major one . .

3A) In the NFL, new players are assigned teams via a draft in which all teams participate, and the worst teams get the best picks of new players. There are also restrictions on free agency so teams don't lose all their best players. So it tends to be leveling. In FBS, each new player decides for himself where to go, often based on where they will make the most money. So the best teams typically get the best new players. And players can pick up and go somewhere else any time they like. So success and failure tend to be self-perpetuating.

Thanks for summarizing everything already said in this thread.
