The act of signing the contract for the bonus makes him a professional baseball player and ends his eligibility to play in college.
At that point he is contractually obligated to play minor league ball for the team he signed with.
I don't doubt you. But I am confused. What is happening when I read about big time college players signing with such and such a big league team? I see it often, Kingsman

Players who have attended college for three years or reached the age of 21 are eligible to be drafted, and that's when the best college baseball players do get drafted. When they sign, their college eligibility ends, and they begin their climb through the minor leagues.

Their bonus obliges them to keep playing for the team until they are released or traded or until the contract is fulfilled (7 years for an initial contract after being drafted).
