A big difference is team sports vs. individuals. Most wrestlers are free to sign with other promoters/tours/companies and do only certain events at their own whim. They do a gig at a time, like an actor. They arrange their own travel and accommodations. Even still, they are very much in the grey area, and it seems like they are taking advantage of certain friendly state laws in the state they are based in (CT). The NCAA is composed of schools in each state, and each would have to abide by local laws which may be stricter on the front of being exclusive to 1 employer among other things.

Being part of a college basketball team means you have to practice and then play every game as part of the schedule. The NCAA does not allow you to play for multiple teams. College sports could probably find a way to finagle a gray area so that the athletes were contractors, but it would not look the same as it currently does. Most team sport professional athletes are W2 employees.
