In case you don't want to check out the article, the most meaningful part appears to be:
"In August, OHL player Rylan Masterson challenged that rule. He filed a proposed class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court of Western New York against the NCAA and 10 universities for what the suit termed a "group boycott" of Canadian junior players. It said the boycott "prevents competition between the CHL and NCAA for top-end players and thus artificially suppresses compensation for players and artificially creates less competitive leagues," which it argued was "illegal under antitrust laws.""
I don't think it's much of stretch to compare that to players that went straight to MiLB out of high school, then realize they're not getting to the majors, at least not anytime soon.
Why not go make more money in college for 4 (soon to be 5) years...except that the NCAA eligibility rules are blocking you?
Am I missing something obvious?
