They will have so many options that a college degree won't matter.  Broadcasting, coaching, and a number of other jobs within the game regularly fall to the retired player.  The money that they made by leaving early accumulates and either allows them to retire comfortably or gives them the capital to become business owners, etc.  If I made 600 thousand dollars for 10 yrs, I would be well enough off not to have to depend on my college education.
