I don't see why they couldn't have buyouts in the future.

The agreement between the states/feds and NCAA before was about restricting player movement because it was anticompetitive. Not because they were students who had rights, but because they were people and restricting their ability to transfer (or making them sit out) restricted them from earning NIL aka money. The NCAA doesn't have the right to restrict people from earning because it has not been collectively bargained to give it that power.

It could certainly be written into a personal contract, though, the same as it would be with coaches. The reason it hasn't yet been done was that all current contracts are with NIL collectives, and they were the ones paying kids and by NCAA rule could not tie anything to enrollment at the school. But with revenue sharing coming in, the contracts will be directly with the institution. At that point, it would not be anticompetitive to reach a contract between player and college to include a buyout for leaving a contract early.

(This all being said, IANAL so take that all with a big grain of salt).
