The difference perhaps is a college player has more reason to complete their 4 years and become a free agent.
Kind of an apples to oranges scenario though. The reason it's an issue is for a college player the decision is 'if I go play early, I won't be able to stay at school'

My solution is simply extend the time that a team retains rights by another year. So if a college player wants to be a UFA they have to go play in Europe for a year after school.
