The only compensation college players get is the education and room and board.  Unless the schools want to start paying the players straight up cash the system doesn’t work right now 

Shortsighted 

they get a national stage, the best coaching in the world, the best facilities, and the opportunity to compete against the best in their age group

why do Olympic athletes do what they do?

money isn’t everything guys

Free gear and food too. It’s not a bad lifestyle for four years.

What these fake health justice warriors don't seem to grasp is that players WANT to play. For many their careers and long term livelihoods depend on it. Cancelling the season means crushing their life long dreams. The way some people talk you'd think that universities were forcing players to do something they didn't want to do. 

Pretty hard for state University to say on the one hand it's not safe for our students to be on campus and on the other hand we pay our football coach 10 million a year and if these student athletes don't bring in the TV bucks say goodbye to their scholarships.  The vast majority of big time college programs produce very few NFL players.

I agree, It’s complicated

Can you just opt out of the season dude? Is there anything more annoying than a cancel the season troll on a football forum? 

I'm not a "cancel the season" troll.  I'm a "delay-the-season-until-we-get-a-vaccine-which-we-should-have-in-a-few-months" troll.
