way, way more than that. $87,500/year would cover no more than tuition, room and board, and food (maybe not even all of that) a lot of places. Let's just take a standard OOS tuition cost at a school like Alabama. Out of state tuition, alone, is about $30k/year. Add another $15k for rent, $7-10k for food, and you're already close to $60k. Now add on the trainers, medical care, facilities, nutritionists, equipment, clothes, travel expenses, lodging on road games, tutors, etc, and you're probably closer to $200k/year per player at the bigger P5 schools.

That also doesn't even include the difficult to quantify value of the platform they're given at no cost to them.
