But in the real world where scholarships are kids going to college, there is no chance in all of hell that the NCAA is going to cut 1,000 scholarships in Division 1A football. Even if there was a "trickle-down" effect argument. It would never, ever happen.

Outside of a few exceptions, no one playing football at a P5 school is doing it so they can get a cheap/free education. That's definitely not that case at schools like Alabama and Ohio State. Functionally, Alabama and Ohio State are NFL minor league teams.

I mean I don't disagree with you, but the optics are what matter and just slicing 1,000 scholarships will never fly. Especially when the majority of those 1,000 scholarships serve a certain population.
