Real reason?
Because they’re hilarious.
An excerpt:
Coaches and administrators have forgotten how to cheat. These things used to be taken care of with a few hundreds rolled into a handshake and a job for mom at the tractor factory down the road from the school. Now, it’s amateur hour.
This isn’t rocket science, people. The NCAA has what amounts to subpoena power over current athletes and current university employees. That’s it. The NCAA’s rules don’t apply to anyone else. That opens an almost infinite array of cheating opportunities completely undetectable by the NCAA’s enforcement cops. If you get caught cheating, you got caught because you’re incredibly stupid.
