False equivalency. Coaches grind in the profession to make it to that high leverage position - they get paid and treated like dirt early on in their careers, with rewards at the back end.
Players have proven nothing in that regard. They want, and now get it, day 1. Not saying it's right/wrong, but the "coaches do it" argument is extremely fallible.
there is no backend reward for the players in this situation. Most of them aren't going to have a long NFL career, if one at all.
They are now in a position where they have leverage for money. It is not their fault for taking it.
you go turn down a massive pay raise and then you can judge them

This isn't different from coaching. Most football coaches won't have a long or profitable career in coaching.

The system is broken, hard to blame the players for abusing it, but it needs to get fixed.

Exactly. Saban can say that he prepares his guys for a future but even Alabama probably only puts like 20-30% of their players in the NFL for even a year. The reality is that you can’t make a career out of a 3-5 year NFL stint. You’ll have to work again and it can’t be in your greatest skill (playing football). Increasing your earning years by 3-4 is huge for these players.
I don’t blame them one bit. It’s bad for the programs but that’s just the way it is. If the NCAA had allowed colleges to pay players, they could have worked out contracts, etc.
