Does not have to be college.
If you want to go and play in Europe until you are 22 that is another way to keep from going to the team that drafted you.
If you are losing prospects at age 22 because they don't want to sign with you that is signs of a poor organization and terrible asset management and not just providing an out in a players commitment to the team.
