Does he give the approximate value of the scholarships throughout the years? If not, the article is pointless
What's the value of a scholarship? Yeah...you get to go to college for free but a BA isn't worth what it was in the 70s or 80s. Unless you get a degree in a good field you aren't going to see any return from that diploma. And let's face it, the vast majority of college football players aren't smart enough to get a degree in chemical engineering.
It was a good deal 20 years ago. But not so much anymore.

The value of a scholarship is what it would have cost otherwise to obtain that education. Whether a football player capitalizes on that is another thing.

Whose fault is that?

Well then I suggest they take advantage and get a degree in a good field. If they don't think it is worth the free education, then they should skip college and train for 3 years after high school. If they don't like waiting 3 years, take that up with the NFL, not the NCAA.

...yet players freely choose to do it. I wonder why that is.

It's not just the scholarship money they are getting
They are getting housing, food, free gym, free supplements, free gear, training and medical care, tutoring and more
Top of the line stuff too not average
