Hank,

UW is a state school. Costs wayyyyy less than $100K for a 4-year degree there. Should be less than $60K for 4 years. Don't confuse it with that private U down the street from you. My oldest graduated there when it was $125K/year, and it's gone up considerably.

Jake has no obligation to play (for education received) that he hasn't already paid back each year he's played. I speculate that he wants to play his final year of collegiate eligibility so that in the future he won't have any regrets about what might have been. Naturally that opens up the potential to regrets should he be injured next year, and what that might do to his professional career, but then, life is always uncertain. It's a calculated risk.
