A lot of these are poor kids with no money. The "benefits" give them a place to stay, but it doesn't buy them food and basic living expenses. These kids can earn money on their own, but the NCAA regulates that too.

If MOST of these players have no interest in getting an education, then most of these players aren't looking at the big picture. A very small percentage of college football players will make it to the NFL. OF this small percentage, very few will make millions of dollars playing football.
