True. NCAA existed by gentlemen’s agreement and only ever held power

Because the institutions it represented agreed to follow the rules. That’s been cast aside, mostly because the more wealthy institutions realized they’d rather gain the advantages that came with paying athletes than potentially deal with rules that promoted a more level playing field, and the NCAA has lost essentially every lawsuit, and any authority ceded by the member institutions, since.
