that's pretty much implied and only a dishonest or mentally deficient person would not realize that possibility
If that's the case, then why has NCAA decided to remove itself from the exclusive contract with EA during the player likeness lawsuit against EA and the NCAA? It's not as implied as you think. There is no cash handout being given to these players (unless it's from a booster, or some other illegal terms). Sure, they are getting full scholarships, and what not. I get that. The kids are still being used as money makers.

because our government and courts love to allow people who willingly entered into contracts to back out of them

and the kids are using the marketing machines of the NCAA and its member schools to create their own brand
funny enough we have an actual, concrete example of this that occurred within the past 10 years or so: the NBA changing its entry rules to require 1 year of college basketball. that was a pure marketing move for teams so that when a kevin durant or derrick rose gets drafted, they're already a "somebody"
you don't think that johnny football has benefited from his 2 years at TAMU? you think if he was toiling away in a minor league system, being years away from the nation knowing who he is, he'd be better off?
