[QUOTE="Techster, post: 480076, member: 360"] Here's the thing: The vast majority of college sports (that includes the other sports outside of basketball) know NCAA sports is kind of a scam. We know it's dirty at some (every?) level, and the bigger schools are getting away with it unless they out and out cheat. The NCAA has no motivation to really pursue the bluebloods/cash machines, nor is it really in their best interest. The only thing really policing schools are their rivals, disgruntled former players, and disgruntled families. God forbid a team cheats if you're not getting away with it. I think there was a poll several years ago asking college sports fans if they cared whether their teams cheated. A good majority of the fans were willing to accept cheating by their team on some level...IF they didn't know and their team didn't get caught. Ignorance is bliss. Which is to say, unless fans are going to stop watching sports and advertisers and broadcasters are going to stop paying teams money, the machine will keep going in some form or another. Don't hold your breath. [/QUOTE]
