For a whole association it's even harder to pull off such an extortion than for a single company due to politics (not every member will be interested in doing this for various reasons) and technical issues (many will have outsourced Internet service for starters).
Besides, what's stopping those students to just use their mobile phone for Internet connection if they can't to the sites they want to? That students are a major market for certain sites, also means the students want to access the sites. Blocking a site will just tell them to find a workaround, and with mobile Internet between affordable and dirt cheap (I pay the equivalent of less than USD10 a month for unlimited data and 1200 minutes or so airtime) the fixed line connection becomes less and less essential. College asks them to get a book for their course, they'll get the book. Is it not over the fixed line, it's just done over the mobile.
