Let's review
You want to give 18 year old athletes millions with no guidance or restrictions

I want to give 18 year old athletes millions spread out over 2 or more decades structured in a manner where they are less likely to piss it away or get in trouble.

And you come up with some ridiculous comment about the rich. The people you consider enemies of the state. Who will be dealt with once your glorious cause is successful
No you want to control their money. Give it to a bank, right?

I note you don't want to control the money of rich white kids.

And did you realize that colleges have finance classes and even degrees available?

None I want the NCAA to set up a program that will help players from pissing away their money.

You do realize that very few of the players are ever going to see an NFL check.
Imagine between 18 and 23 you earn between 1 and 3 million. Then at 24 you are back to being broke. Looking at a 40k entry level position.

The NCAA should have no legal power over the players. They've already proven how corrupt they are, and they'd just take a huge cut for themselves.

Now, the NFLPA, for instance, has programs to help new players handle their money. Colleges have finance classes and degrees.

But a program that takes their money and handles and invests it for them? Oh, HELL NO. They are American citizens, and have the right to spend money as they see fit.
