The coaches have a contract they legally need to abide by.  If they quit, and the contract doesn't have a causation type clause in it relative to specific terms/circumstances that may arise or are reasonably foreseeable, then there isn't a legal obligation.  There are reasons contracts have bye out clauses, etc., at least the well written ones.

The player on full scholarship is given a generous gift, a gift of a lifetime one could certainly argue depending upon perspective.  And, if he/she chooses to accept it and sign a legal/binding contract, then they are bound legally by the terms and conditions of it.  If they don't like the terms, they don't need to sign it (no one is forcing them) and they can freely choose an option that they feel may be better suited for their wants, desires and needs.  They have 100% [I]free will [/I]to be a "revenue generator" for themselves by deciding to go pro in lieu of college as long if they truly have the ability/talent.  
       
Race is a convenient attempt to deflect vs. focusing on the substance of the debate.  As with most things, certainly in all negotiations, the one/entity with the most leverage, whether it's from a legal standpoint or public perception/opinion, always has the upper hand.
