The NCAA is a private marketing organization with no legal authority to do anything. It get's whatever authority it has to do anything only when the conferences agree to it.
The only reason it exists at all is because their attorneys have been very effective at making sure the athletes don't get paid, or insurance, or anything else besides a scholly.

...young men were being killed on the field of play and the public wanted the President to do something about it.
So Teddy Roosevelt convened a series of meetings with college presidents to see what types of rules changes could be initiated in college football to protect the players from egregious injury, and from those meetings, the NCAA was born.
...and the 'Flying Wedge' formation was banned.
