I don't have adequate information to answer that question. I am not privileged to the conversations between athletes and their academic advisors. I haven't conducted research on the matriculation of athletes through academic programs. I have no data on jobs that athletes get upon leaving the university (aside from personal/anecdotal knowledge of specific cases).
Also, notice that I'm talking about the larger body of athletes and you keep specifying football. Is it your stance that decisions made regarding the treatment of football players should not apply to athletes in general?
If you drive past the ECV each morning, you will see various athletes (yes, some of whom are football players) standing at the bus stop before 8am wearing backpacks waiting on the bus. Where do you think those athletes are headed?

I have more than anecdotal knowledge and can confirm to you that the football " academic" advisor's primary goal is to keep you eligible. They have a lot of money riding on a football player to not only stay eligible, but to graduate.
If you are not a special admission, you can get a non football/AA guidance counselor. At least you used to be able to.
Do you understand why it is critical for players to graduate specifically within the football program?
