This isn't entirely true... The University of Oklahoma's starting QB was just drafted 9th overall by the Oakland Athletics. He signed a contract with Oakland that had almost a 5 million dollar signing bonus that allowed him to play 1 year of football with the Sooners. (

There have also been numerous instances where pro players went back to NCAA and played a different sport. For example players who went pro playing baseball and then went back to school to play football.
Sum it up NCAA sucks. Lot of rules should be changed. The NCAA Hockey player going UFA should be changed even though it doesn't happen all that often. It might seem like it as a Flames fan with the Gaudreau scare, Hickey, and now Fox. Although looking back it's been pretty rare but maybe now it's starting to pick up.
