A better approach would be to put strict limits on the time a student could be forced to devote to sports so they could devote the proper time to their studies as student athletes.

Compared to 30 years ago, a current high school football player currently puts in the time commitment a college player did 30 years ago. A current college player puts in the time a pro did 30 years ago

College football has become more like profession than extra curricular scholarship activity.

BTW, college has gotten ferociously expensive so an athletic scholarship is great way for a student to get an education.
