Well it won't. The sad part is that universities (Trump doesn't give a ****) will be caught in the middle - because they put at risk federal funding. I would assume (hope) that some agent/player will be in federal court today filing a temporary injunction against this - the most aggrieved party would be someone seeking to transfer for a second time and thus denied an opportunity maximize their NIL.

So, you think the current f***ed up system is fine?

Not at all

But what is WORSE is threatening billions in federal support (NIH, NSF, Pell Grants, you name it) an coercing a university to follow an order that is likely to be found illegal for which THEY will be liable to the aggreveed player .

Read the order, the enforcement mechanism is the $$ that would be cut off if the universities don't follow this order.

This is a lot of "pissing in the wind" until reality sets in and full on professionalization is recognized/accepted and collectively bargained. Everybody seems to want to avoid that but, short of a constitutional amendment, it seems inevitable.

Congress can change the law to allow collective bargaining by non-employees. (unlikely to pass) And/or, Congress could exempt teh ncaa from certain antitrust regs (as Congress has done for MLB). No Amendment required in either case. Alternatively, the courts coudl rule that D1 athletes are de facto employees. But that would wind up in SCOTUS in 3-4 years.
