The NCAA isn't controlling the messages. The schools and conferences are. Even if they were controlling them, they aren't a state actor, so no free speech issues would be implicated.
But you are correct that public institutions could have a problem if they start regulating the content of the players' speech.
Whoever is responsible for the limitations placed on such speech would be named in the litigation. It could create some interesting dynamic within the team, coaching staff and university personnel.

My guess is most schools will simply avoid the issue by not allowing any players to display any individual messages at all.
