It should not be a university's responsibility to see to it that its
students have spending money. As to not helping athletes with academics
after their eligibilty ends, I would need to see something more than
anectodal evidence that is occurring. Even if it is, they're seniors or
grad students by then and should have figured out how to study. They have
no spring practice to consume their time and, if they're not turning pro, no
requirement to hit the gym either. Either you treat students as adults or
you don't. If a university must hand-hold students through four or more
years of education, then it's time to return to a system that includes
parietal hours.
