Should scholarship students to Harvard Law have to pay back the school when they get a job at a big name firm?

Of course not, they're goal was to get an education and such scholarships are income based.

How many Harvard law school grads gave up working for a big name law firm and are playing in the NFL or NBA today?

Apples and oranges

Their goal was to get a big job. Not apples and oranges at all. They went to college to get into lucrative professional jobs. People at big dog law firms are going to make more money than athletes over the course of their career. It’s apples and apples. My trainer’s kid went to college for investment banking, almost his entire class “intern” jobs paying middle class money by the end of their 2nd year, and 6 figure jobs by graduation. There’s no “purity” in it, especially not at the lucrative level. People are going to college, often under scholarship, to line up for big money jobs. If any of them should pay it back ALL of them pay it back.
