For the same reason college players are not allowed to hold jobs.
Did you know that even if a college ballplayer held a cure to cancer, or knew the secret to bringing peace to the world and ending hunger ... no matter what the case. That student athlete playing football would have to forgo everything else in order to play football. He could not be an actor during the off season for example, or a musician or a doctor.
The NCAA owns you.
I suspect that is going to change in coming years. It is basically a form of legal slavery.

That's a pretty ignorant comment. Participation in NCAA athletics is strictly voluntary.
If you don't want to play by the rules, don't join the game.
