I like where you're headed but I'd tweak a few things. I'd probably lessen the amount to 25k for each game the team played. You can max out at 100k if you play all 4 playoff games. If you play 1 game you only get 25k. That money should put away in a high yield savings account and put in a trust to ensure it gets to the player or immediate family of the player.I agree but to protect player from themselves, I’d have it as an incentive for graduating. If you graduate, every scholarship player on the team receives a check of $75K for each year their team makes the playoffs (maxes out at $300K), regardless of how deep the team advances.
That’s a tiny slice of the pie over a 4yr span and that’s only if your team makes the playoffs all 4 years - if every player graduated and 75 kids on scholly, it’d be around $22.5mil. That’s a drop in the bucket and it would be an absolute game changing start to life for all the young people involved who don’t go to the NFL. They could purchase their first starter home or make a significant down payment on one. Would boost the economy as well.
Problem is, the players from schools not making the playoffs would scream bloody murder at the top of their collective lungs.
I wouldn't require that the team makes the playoff 4 years out of 4 years. That would create more recruiting advantages for certain schools and would be ******** the players over by having to make the playoffs 4 years in a row in order to receive payment.
I'd also require that before disbursement of the funds to the player upon graduating they take a 6hr course on financial literacy. The course would be paid for by the CFB playoffs.
