If times are changing, maybe the whole scholarship idea should be scrapped. Let players realize this isn’t just free money.  End scholarships and have players pay their own way to school. Schools could provide  aide based on what your worth!  Have  a sliding scale.  The five stars have to pay their own way  and less if you’re a four star, three star, etc. without college football these players are going nowhere. Let them go out and “earn” NIL money, like it was supposed to be.   If they want the big bucks, let them find out what the real world is all about.  College athletics was supposed to allow athletes the chance to play and get a free education.  Education now means nothing.  No degree, then you have to pay back all tuition, including if you leave early for the draft.  It’s time the word commitment means something.  I don’t want to hear about coaches leaving.  People leave for better jobs all the time.  Once athletes leave, they can go to any job they want.  People say the schools are making all this money off them.  They are also giving them the platform to potentially play professionally.  They house them, feed them, pay to travel across the country.  Put them up in great hotels.  Give them all the free gear they want.  Free medical services. This stuff is not free.  All on top of their scholarships.  Life is so tough on these guys.
