Yes, I will grant you that the NCAA, as it currently exists, exists for the purpose of exploiting students and enriching coaches and administrators. Maybe the organization itself is beyond reform, but I don't think the competitive intercollegiate athletics couldn't exist without exploiting the students.

Assuming you fully intended the double negative, there is even precedence that the NCAA isn't needed at all to have intercollegiate competitions, with men's crew and cycling being the two prime examples.
