Interesting article from Matt Norlander about coaches saying schools are still going to cheat with revenue sharing. Not exactly surprising. The article is worth a read. It's very long though.
"I'm concerned. I don't believe it yet, because until they start enforcing any rules, no rule is going to matter," a coach with recent Final Four experience told CBS Sports. "I would suggest we should shut down our collective tomorrow if I knew that this new structure was going to work. ... I'm skeptical over it, that things are going to get there."
"Some think we're going to see a complete shift in college basketball, but it's not going to happen," Poneman said. "I don't know how it's not going to happen, but there are too many talented, powerful, motivated basketball coaches who have spent their whole life getting to this position to allow some arbitrary, nonsensical legislation totally impact their career in irreparable ways."
Michigan State coach Tom Izzo told me that, in his view "10 to 15%" of the sport was cheating 15 to 20 years ago. He thinks if strict restrictions are put in and they hold, the number will be closer to 40% because the money's gotten too big to go all the way back.

As college basketball enters its most uncertain era yet, few believe the new rules will stop the flow of money
College basketball's next phase in the revenue-sharing era has many questioning what's real and if cheating will come back in a big way
