I think the USFL won $3 dollars($1 but trebled damages) because of president Trump - largely seen then as tanking the league; however, he did win the case and NFL was found to be a monopoly.

There will be a wall and the NFL will lose its antitrust status.

Pro sports leagues would seem unlikely to lose antitrust exemption. The league processes of amateur drafts, minimum pay, salary caps, territorial franchise rights, etc, make pro sports competitive and thus entertaining. Those practices would not be allowed in business sectors without exemption.
