and donors... all of those things still exist with or without these 1-4 year players because ultimately college sports is about the universities and fans thereof, many of which are alums.
Take away all those players you think are bringing in millions to the universities, replace them with someone else, and just as much money comes in.
Conversely, most of these players are worthless (at their current age) without college sports. That's why the they're CHOOSING to play NCAA sports as amateur athletes for the value of a free education and other related benefits, instead of going pro.
