Nope. Quite wrong. Until the last few years athletics scholarships weren’t allowed a stipend. Now they’re at least even on that front (well, slightly, some academic scholarships come pretty lucrative stipends). In order to maintain their GPA athletes are pushed towards cushy classes, so they’re not getting anywhere near the education. And given the tiny percentage of athletes that make it into the pros students in on athletic scholarships are by far the least likely to be employed in their field of actual study. So actually 100% the opposite, academic scholarships far outpace athletic in benefits both during and after school.

Wait until they all unionize grad students, student athletes, & adjuncts, etc! That will solve everything!
