Times have changed, and the toothless NCAA will fold like a wet blanket in this no-rules semi-pro college sports world.
That was back when the NCAA actually fought stuff and they had set a precedent that athletes were AMATEURS. They stuck by this and would fight tooth and nail with people on it. The NCAA also didn't mind spending money to fight court cases.
Nowadays, they just fight this stuff to check a box. If you actually pursue it further, they won't do anything.
