There is nothing keeping that from being in the contracts other than players being unwilling to sign them. Any schools NIL collective is more than welcome to implement that.
The boosters/collectives would be CRAZY for agreeing to long term commitments. The reason is because the NIL contract cannot be tied to the the player playing for a specific school. That would make it a direct pay-for-play contract.
So let's say I'm a wealthy business owner and I want to sign star true freshmen QB to a big NIL deal to lure him to sign with LSU. I can't put in the contract that the deal is only enforceable if he plays for LSU. That's direct pay-for-play. I'm only paying the kid for use of his NIL. His NIL travels wherever he goes. So if I sign him to an NIL deal for 3 years, I owe the terms of that contract...even if he transfers to Alabama after one season. Almost all of the NIL deals are very short in duration to specifically avoid that possibility.

There are ways around that. Word it as “you must make X amount of playing visits on (specific football field) wearing (specific colors). You never actually mention the school itself as playing specifically for them just happens to be on their field wearing their colors. Legal issues constantly come down to “technicalities”.
You can’t word it about where a player has to play, but you can word it saying “you will NOT be paid IF you play for
(Input any all schools you want here)”

There’s ways around that honestly. You can put in requirements for living in a certain area that is needed close to the business because of the targeted market and needed for promotional, etc.
