So a person trys to take their band on the road to make it big then decides to go to college and study music and gets a scholarship to do so. A kid becomes a apprentice carpenter the gets a scholarship to be an architect.  There are plenty of examples of kids making life decisions coming out of hs only to change their minds for what ever reason and get a scholarship to hone their craft in college. Changing their minds shouldn't be held against them because of some antiquated rule made by old men p'od that they weren't the kids first choice.

The NCAA has or had plenty of rules designed to control college athletics not for the betterment of college sports but for the benefit of the NCAA.  Here's an example of such an antiquated rule.  Once upon a time track athletes could be banned from competing in NCAA events if they ran in an AAU event. No other reason but not wantingbthe too..  We have discussed plenty of examples of the NCAA looking the other way when select schools violaterulesbut come down hard for minor infractions on others.
