They pay for none of this. And when you consider that 90% of them are not good enough to get paid to play football anywhere else, I believe entirely that they receive much, much, much more than they give back. It would be impossible to argue that those things have no value to the athlete. The value is way beyond the actual market value of 90% of them and I would also argue its beyond the value of the ones who do go pro. So yeah, they're exploiting the colleges. Their exploiting their ability to funnel them to the pros.
