This is exactly the same situation that cycling is going through at the moment. They are attempting to abolish the state federations as well as separate bodies for BMX and MTB to have one overarching body. There are mixed views though most people view their state federations with a fairly high degree of contempt. Not sure how the state football bodies are viewed.
It’s been pretty messy and ugly and by no means is it complete, but it will probably happen eventually. The major stick is the federal government will only fund national bodies so the states will have their hands forced.
