Well I think contracts whether 2 years 3 years 4 years are anything but simple and consistent.  Will the contract between player A and USC be the same terms as player B with Duke?  What if a players family gets sick?  What if he gets injured seriously or can't keep minimum grades?  What if the coaches leave?  What if he is not happy can't leave and just create distractions off the court (look at the Miami Heat Jimmy Butler situation)?  You take all those exit conditions into account and you end up with a very complicated contract, just to keep someone for another year?

At the end of the day to have some continuity you are looking for ways to make it sticky, either making it easier for a player to stay or harder to leave.  My concerns with contracts will be a road down the employee/contractor path and completely removing the needs to be a student which at that point my support will end.  Yes I do know some were paid under the table before this portal/NIL era.
