but the fact that this has become a money grab is what has gotten people's attention, not so much the being able to go pro right away.

Name, image, and likeness issues go to the core point of the fact that this is basically no longer amateur athletics and guys like Gene Smith (a Notre Dame man) and Jim Harbaugh (a Michigan man) get rich while the vast majority of the labor don't get monetary compensation. Sure, there is value in the scholarship (especially at a place like Notre Dame) but there is also value in being able to endorse products, sign autographs, and use your image and likeness in a video game and be compensated by people outside of the NCAA and member institutions.
