Pro leagues allow it if it’s written that way in the contract.

It appears there are a lot of legal hurdles to setting up college sports into professional leagues that enforce contracts and collectively bargain.

Yeah, it would be great if all players coming out of HS signed two-year contracts and extensions could be negotiated as early as after year one. Have out clauses for entering the draft or allowing transfers if there’s a coaching change.
 
What would be wrong - or illegal - for Malone to be already approaching kids NOW about what their plans might be after next season?

Example: if a player is already committed to playing for Zona next season, and he’s not necessarily thinking NBA for the following season, but maybe shopping around for his next stop, in advance - what would be the harm in Malone reaching out to the kids agent now, back-channeling, saying something like “after your done with Zona next year, this is what we can offer at UNC for the following year: ca$h/playing time/car/girls/apartment/etc.”

In other words, you’re recruiting now, for not just this upcoming season, but also for the next season… and the next.

I know it seems like dirty pool, but hey… it’s the wild Wild West out there boys and girls.

It takes more than writing it in the contract. That's what Duke did with its QB, but generally speaking contracts cannot bind people to certain courses of conduct. They can always buy their way out, essentially.

What makes the multi-year contract rule work in the pros is the eligibility rule. A player cannot play for another team if he is under contract with another. He doesn't have to play at all. He can play in a different league somewhere. He can retire. But what he cannot do is play for the Pistons if he's in year two of a three year deal with the Bulls.
