My belief has always been that the NCAA knows exactly what's been going on for many years. They let it continue because it's good for business. Coaches don't want to turn in other coaches.  The NCAA only acts when they have to because something leaks to the public and it looks bad so they don't want that negative publicity. They need to look like they care or else what's the point of the entire amateur model which is the foundation of the NCAA's existence?

I used to go to AAU events in the decade of the 2000's and there was always talk among coaches about what recruits were asking for money and what schools were offering. So you're telling me I was told this stuff, all the coaches knew about this stuff and the NCAA didn't? Yeah, sure.

If there's cheating like this in college basketball can you imagine what is going on with college football, where the money schools make is exponentially larger? So how come we don't hear about that? Where's the big scandal there?  There is none because paying players is good for business.  Call me a cynic.  But the almighty dollar always rules.
