Eh, if you are in a career path where you will be lucky to still be collecting a paycheck at 30, I understand the incentive to maximize your earnings as much as possible. If one isn't independently wealthy, one may see the college experience as a luxury. I also wouldn't be thrilled with giving up a decent portion of my prime earning years to enrich coaches/ADs/NCAA execs, etc. to the tune of millions of dollars for the sake of experiences. Experiences are all great and grand, but at the end of the day, bills need to be paid.
