What colleges and universities should want, most of the time, is to expand access to the materials they hold: archival materials, research studies and the like. The colleges and universities might like a little income to offset the cost of proving that access, but there is very little possibility (or risk) that anyone will or could make a great deal of money off the access provided. The central issue is access, not income; it is expanding use, not protecting rights.
