I guess one issue could be health issues that do not manifest itself while playing such as concussion syndroms or arthritis in knees that cause future surgeries after having had surgery during their time in a program. It's a big issue and you have to wonder with all of the money being made or revenue generated how long before changes come to the "student" athlete benefits.

There are concussion protocols now in place to protect players. Also, every athlete has a greater risk for developing osteoarthritis in the future. That's just how our joints are made. Playing football is risky, there's no denying it. Players and their families are fully aware of these risks and freely choose to participate. Should high schools be responsible for their former players developing OA?
