Why couldn't the player's parents lease a Charger for their son for 3 years at around $200 a month? If the dealership wants to give the low interest rate and have the Alabama football player advertise their dealership for them, then what does that have to do with Alabama, per se?
Say you do just that then you tack on insurance (required by law) and you're paying $350 bucks a month total (young men in sports cars are expensive). Not too many families outside of the upper middle class can afford to spend that much a month and not too many college football players come from upper middle class families (although a few do). However, college football has always been a game dominated by hicks, hayseeds, and those from poorer areas within cities as well as in rural areas.

You're forgetting the fact that Uncle Sam is giving them $383 per month. They absolutely can afford it.
