Curious what they don't get? The ones I was friends with at LSU
- didn't have to work to pay for books
- didn't have to work to pay for an apartment
- had a food voucer to be used anywhere on campus
- had free clothing (of course all LSU gear)
- had access to free tutoring/help
- received free books
- could walk into Chimes/TJ Ribs and eat for free (technically I know this isn't a school issue but they got it)
- got into and drank in most of the Tigerland clubs for free
Yes they had film session, practice, classes to attend (some didn't go and had someone hand them notes) and yes they made the university plenty of money.
But exactly where is the "basic human rights" they were denied?

They get a stipend and scooters too. Our football players get helmet-themed scooter helmets.

Are you insinuating they're paid just like a coach, AD, school president?
No, so they don't get "everything they want"

Which of these can they use to, say, help their parents pay a few bills?

My BIL almost has a down payment for a home from the money he got with his scholarship from Iowa state. 
They get treated like royalty.
