The lack of anti trust exemption is what makes college sports different than what we're used to when it comes to the professional sports. College sports are effectively a group of conferences competing against one another. There isn't an overarching body with the level of authority that a commissioner has.
Because these conferences are competing against one another, due to the lack of anti trust exemption, anything that is viewed as them working together to put limits on player pay, player movement etc could be seen as collusion.
The reality of it is you can't go around bragging about your potential $100 million a year conference payouts and not have the people putting in the work start to wonder where their share is.
