Lets say, the winners each get up to 500k to pay for whatever university they want, would that hurt running? Coaches could no longer entice those kids with weak scholarships, and since the kids would not have to run in college, they could just enjoy the college experience.
You’re basically saying institute prize money in the form of a college scholarship.
Call me old fashion but I view a college scholarship like interviewing for a job. Get qualified and hopefully get an offer letter. But guess what? If you quit or underperform you stop getting paid. Just like life.
