But allowing the NCAA to restrict normally (in the rest of society) free trade and commerce in such a manner would go against any precept of the NCAA's existance. Legalized market 'tampering' like that could also set dangerous precedent. Imagine a corporation, or group of corporations, being able to use that legal precedent to set the limit on which companies could offer potential and extant employers, software engineers for example. They then know they can just offer the maximum right at the start and not have to worry about their talent trying to improve their own lives by taking the relatively same job at another company but with higher pay (something I've done). They don't even have to give raises.

I don't know if such power will ever be ceded to the NCAA again.

Restricting boosters from making NIL deals doesn't limit how much a player can earn. They are still free to sign as many other legitimate deals as they want.
