If an athlete becomes an employee of a university or state, they become a LEGAL resident of that state.

That is completely 100% wrong. I literally do a tax return for a professor at Yale (Connecticut) and he is a legal resident of New York because that is where he lives most of the year. He takes a train in to New Haven 2 days a week. In most cases, you are a LEGAL resident of the state you spend 183 days living in. You will file a Nonresident tax return in the state you earn your income in but being an employee will in no way automatically make you a resident of the state that university is in.
