These joke contracts are payment for name, image and likeness only while you are at that institution though.

I think that we all know this is a farce, but that is what they are nominally for. If you leave they cease by their nature, since they could conceivably still pay for your "name, image and likeness" (which still exists at your next landing spot) but, of course, they only wish to pay for it at Tennessee say...and not at a North Carolina...or elsewhere.

The new "system" is constructed on a fantasy...
