I believe if an athlete or group challenged it it would get tossed.

Schools are members of an association but a 17 year old high school kid have never 'bargained away' his rights to do a lot of things.

Schools agreed to it because with it out it would be anarchy - coaches would be 'stalking' 5 star recruits until they should up for class the first day at another U.

Of course they could be challenged, I just don't think the court would strip the NCAA of its right to govern itself and the schools that are member institutions. At some point, the NCAA has to be able to regulate things if for no other reason than to simply keep the recruiting from getting totally out of hand, and not just the HS kids.

Just out of curiosity, why would Jones situation be worthy of litigation, but not other 1-A transfers? Is there a specific reason, given his situation, for your opinion or are you speaking generally with respect to transfers? Just wondering.
