They had to be sued to do this. They are CTA especially with other lawsuits like Martin Jenkins coming their way.
NCAA is fricked, with only themselves to blame.

Greenspan works at Winston and Strawn with Jeffery Kessler, who in 1992 was part of a team that convinced a jury to declare the NFL's Plan B free agency system illegal. That helped usher in the current era of NFL free agency. The Jenkins case, which was originally filed in New Jersey in March, doesn't have the narrow focus of O'Bannon, which involves only name, image and likeness rights. Jenkins seeks to drop a bomb on the business model for college sports, strip away the NCAA's compensation rules and truly open the market for football and men's basketball players.

receiving the benefits of competitive markets for their services even though their services generate these massive revenues," plaintiffs' attorneys wrote in their initial complaint. "As a result of these illegal restrictions, market forces have been shoved aside and substantial damages have been inflicted upon a host of college athletes whose services have yielded riches only for others. This class action is necessary to end the NCAA's unlawful cartel, which is inconsistent with the most fundamental principles of antitrust law."

hat makes the case even more interesting — and more terrifying to those wishing to preserve the status quo — is the identity of Kessler and Greenspan's teammate. His name is Tim Nevius, and if it sounds familiar, it's probably because you read the transcript of former Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel's interview with the NCAA's enforcement staff from February 2011. Nevius was the NCAA staffer who conducted the interview. Nevius left the NCAA, where he was an associate director of enforcement, to join Winston and Strawn's sports practice group.
