I would increase the stipends for the revenue sports, maybe having it tied in to how successful your school does; i.e., getting to a bowl game, advancement in NCAA tourney for hoops, etc.  That, I realize, violates Title IX, so, that's an obvious significant dilemma.

Other than that, I share the sentiment as some others, no one is forcing these guys to go to college.  They voluntarily choose to do so, and in doing so, agree to the stipulations.  They are 100% free to go a different route, G league, overseas, semi-pro football, etc.  There are many times during NFL broadcasts that players in those early game TV introductions say they are from XYZ high school, etc.  So, there are other avenues to get to their ultimate goal of being a professional athlete in their chosen sport.

The universities (if these guys sign out of high school) affords them the platform of a lifetime to showcase/display their talents in front of millions and millions...with absolutely zero overhead to boot. Afterwards, using this incredible vehicle that the school affords them, if their talent is worthy, will be set for 10 lifetimes.
