I get the feeling it won't stop there. We may be witnessing the last years of the NCAA as we know it.

I doubt it. The NCAA as we know it is the products of many, many decades of development, legal processes, infrastructure development, financial entanglements, and general all-around system emplacement. While people may fantasize about burning it down, and sometimes even win a victory or two in changing how the NCAA operates, replacing it to a degree that we wouldn't recognize it (that is, as we know it) would be an endeavor that the hundreds of colleges and universities operating under its umbrellas would have neither the fortitude nor the desire to attempt. It's an old, old story, the entrenchment of the bureaucracy and the normalization of the status quo. It's how human society has always functioned.
