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.
College Football players, by NCAA rules, aren't allowed to make money playing football.
it is amateur sports, meaning, the athletes are not paid.
it is strictly forbidden by the NCAA for a collegiate athlete to receive compensation for playing sports.
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 depends on which people you are talking about. You could say Michael Phelps (Olympic Swimmer) makes more money than a linebacker of a small college football league. But the average football player does make more money than an average swimmer.
He could play in another football league, or get a job. They may even go back to college.

No money becasue they would just be the top winning team
About 10 million
Yes, but it's under the table.
Twelve million is a typical net income for a professional football player after taxes. Pro football players make quite a bit of money for endorsements.
If a person has big dreams of being a football player they will need to practice hard during the high school career. Then, they will need to get noticed as a college player to make it to NFL.
