You really believe the players aren’t given choice and compensated for their services, don’t you? Wow.
of course they're given a choice and compensated. they're not compensated according to market demands, though. If Alabama offers a player a scholarship and LSU also wants that player all they can offer is another scholarship. If they want that player more than Alabama does, they can't increase their offer, which is what happens in a free market if you want something more than a competitor.
If I am a skilled worker in a high demand field I can reasonably expect to choose from offers between companies who have no outwardly imposed limits on their offers. If I'm making 100 grand where I'm at but another company values me more than that they can pay me as much as they'd like. That is the difference between a free market and college athletics.

What do you think LSU’s new locker room and UGA’s new LED lights are about? They’re used to increase the value of their offer to recruits over other schools. They’re absolutely compensated under the current allowable measures of the market. You have a limited view and understanding of what a market is.
