Exactly what I came in to say. It is exactly this kind of thinking that gets so many young people in to trouble. In fact, the football players that don't make the NFL probably got a great deal.
Every year there are a large number of students that go deeply into debt with the belief that they will come out groomed for a financially rewarding future.
Contrast this with D1 football players who are typically on scholarship. The football player may be just as unprepared as the diligent student, but they probably have much less college debt.

- mberning 17y agoYou're making quite a large assumption that every single player skips out on the education. This is not my experience. I graduated from a D1 school and several of the football players received engineering degrees, just like me. I don't think any of them made it to the NFL, but I can tell you one thing, they did go to college for free.
