Those athletes would not be in the game. Very easy, workable solution but too much work for lazy bureaucrats.

If it was that easy it would be done already.

Not necessarily. NCAA simply doesn't care about video games.

If their job depended on facilitating a video game they would get it done.

They care about money. So yeah, if this was in any form easy, they'd be charging forward with a plan to take advantage of the opportunity.
