Hinton has the exact right take on all the union/lawsuit/NCAA stuff.
We reviewed "Billionaire Ball" at HSR when it came out in print in 2012:

I was pretty sure Matt Hinton knows Mack Brown is no longer the football coach there.

The Baffler's been upgrading their online presence from "none" to "some" over the past couple of months and posting a lot of stuff from their print archives. The Northwestern decision made Hinton's old article timely again.
It's pretty much not the exact right take because nothing can be exactly right that mentions the large amounts of money going in, and stops right there. It remains as disingenuous as ever to talk about millions and billions with no context of what is done with them, as well as to present the largest example as representative of the whole sample.
