It appears you can speak only from the Overton Window of fiat script. The 100K compensation in kind is a fantasy on several levels. For most football players it is useless. Why not just give them the money? College education is largely a joke today with majors like interpretive dance and gender studies to name only two completely absurd subjects. There is not even the pretense of teaching skills like logic. The fact is that the most useful undertakings require no college. We would be better off with guilds and apprenticeships compared to the lies that pass for academia today.

Better that college athletics die than continue to operate as a scam.

It is only a joke if you make it such. An engineering degree, marketing, business, accounting, even teaching, nursing, etc can all lead to lucrative post-fb careers. Most NFL players are broke within 2 years of leaving football, largely in part to having no other marketable skills. A scholarship gives one the opportunity to acquire those skills. Most players are given that opportunity and refuse to seize it. They do not see its utility until years later when they are destitute and no longer playing sports.
