Charlie Pierce is one of the few media guys that get it. Apparently Joe Nocera too. But most CBB reporters outside of Jay Bilas just continue to peddle the NCAA's amateurism BS and spout pious platitudes about their shock at the rampant cheating going on in CBB. Dicky V has been so overcome he's practically been calling for the smelling salts and fainting couch. I'm most irritated by all the faux outrage emanating from the offices of the college presidents, conference commissioners, ADs, and NCAA pencilnecks. They are well aware of the existence of this black market/ underground economy in college football and basketball and that the shoe companies and TV networks are their real overlords. But of course they see any talk of ending their amateurism charade and instituting real reform and finally paying players as threatening their own profits.
