Also if these players can get 17,000$ in cash each year, you think the whole football team is getting that??

Not all of that is coming from the University.

As was said... the living stipend comes from the University.
That's long been a loophole for the players to have spending cash. South Carolina had players being charged about $100/month to stay at the Whitney Hotel all the while receiving their stipend. That was an NCAA violation (they have to be charged market rent). But this is no secret for how the players can get monthly cash.

If you keep fighting the argument that the players aren't well taken care of, you are arguing because you are angry about something else.
The players have it made.
Would they like more?

Absolutely. And they'd spend it on more expensive cars and car insurance. More expensive cable packages. More expensive phones and gadgets/gaming systems.

These are 18 year olds. Not financial planners.
If you give them more, they would be more broke.
