They are essentially buying out the existing "contract".
The university agrees to pay for the athletes tuition as long as he plays for the university. The NFL team wants him to leave early, then they pick up the remainder of the tuition. The student athlete simply postpones their ability to get a degree while having the opportunity to go to NFL if ready.
