No one, but the market, is stopping them.
The nfl doest’t make Gatorade or Nike structure the contracts the way they do, the market does. What company is going to sign a kid to a multi year contract when they can leave at anytime? And if they have an out clause that says if they transfer they lose the nil deal, then what is the difference? Also, these contracts are private, who knows what they contain.

Every player wants a multi year deal except college players?

Simple economics. If no one is offering, then you can want all you want.
But also, these are private two party co tracts that very well may have multi year triggers.
The NIL fiasco falls strictly at the feet of the NCAA. Game manufacturers of years past would use the NIL of players and guess who got the money? Yeah you got it, the NCAA. Of course the NCAA would kick some money back to the colleges. The NCAA could have easily placed most of those payments in an escrow account for that player. That amount, plus interest, would then be refunded to the player when his/her college career was finished. But the NCAA, being the greedy trash they were, kept all the monies forcing a basketball player from UCLA, I think O’Bannon, to sue the NCAA and thus the road to ruination of college athletics begin.
NCAA has been a cluster fuke most of the situation CFB sports finds itself in, is due to the NCAA arrogance, ineptitude, and greed and failure to see the road ahead in cutting things off at the path and it’s failure to come up with real solutions before the courts got involved.
Someone is worried about Texas.
