The NFL can look at what happened after MLB's last strike and how the NHL has basically fallen off the map after their cancelled season. There may be a few extensions, but there will definately be an agreement. But you also need to remember, this negotiation is about money, fans are not in any of the conversations.
jimmy vaccaro would like to disagree with you...
and everyone knows college football would never move games for money...

Jimmy Vaccaro, director of sports operations and public relations with Brandywine Bookmaking LLC, said with the amount of money bet on professional football expected to be up over last year, the impact of an NFL work stoppage would be felt across the sports wagering industry.
"We don't want a work stoppage," Vaccaro said. "Its impact would far outweigh any stoppage in basketball or baseball."
Brandywine Bookmaking owns 16 Lucky's Race and Sports Book locations in Nevada. Revenue figures were not available for the privately held company.
If a lockout occurred, Vaccaro said, he could see a shift toward college football wagering as the NCAA and television networks, such as ESPN, move games to Sunday and Monday to fill holes in their broadcast schedules.
You got that right. My guess is that if there is no NFL on Sundays it may take a while to shift a few games over. I would think that some of the "lesser conferences" would jump at the opportunity to make some money and gain some national exposure. I certainly don't see people taking it to the streets over this. I just hope that if this thing drags out that the owners don't bring in replacement players like they did last time.
