Why are college players not allowed to sell their own autograph?

These players can sign autographs, and other people can sell it and make money... but the players themselves can't make money off of their own name?

Can somebody explain to me why this is a good idea?

Because someone can give them $200000 for it on a LOI

Because some booster will abuse it by buying a signed football for outrageous sums of money thus showing recruits how to get paid.

NCAA is the only one who can make money off their name.

Because we have to protect the sanctity of amateur athletics.

Do you really need an explanation for this?

Because a college education that a very depressingly small % of them are capable of taking advantage of is worth gazillions and pixie dust and chocolate :)
