They dont, not supposed to anyway. some might get bribes to go to certain colleges, but illegal.

Depends on the school. Florida State, Georgia, Alabama, and Miami pay the most in the south. It is usually paid to recruits in briefcases full of cash or sometimes new cars.

Bob Devaney, the late great coach at Nebraska (1962-1972), somewhat tongue-in-cheek said something like.....They're the best amatuers money can buy.

Remember when Florida State (FSU) was referred to as ..."Free Shoes University"? Bobby gets 'um cheap, by diggity.

Football players receive $17,000 annually in cash, all within NCAA rules.

Most college football players qualify for a full Pell Grant, which is worth $5,500 a year and never has to be repaid because it is a grant, not a loan. They also get $500 of clothing allowance each year. Football players can buy whatever clothes they want as long as they bring back $500 worth of receipts to their Compliance department showing the clothes they bought.

They receive other cash assistance as well.

All through the NCAA guidance.

It is against the NCAA Rules to pay college football players, therefore, college football players make $0 per year until they get to the pros.
