I say it all the time. There is ZERO incentive to NOT Cheat. Cheaters prosper in the world of sports. Bonds, Calipari, Armstrong, A-Rod, Marion Jones etc. Other than reputation being tarnished, these people have excelled. Bonds is the All-Time home run leader and one of the riches baseball players of his time. Coach Calipari cheated at UMass, Cheated at Memphis and all he did was get arguably the top job in College Basketball. Armstrong won 8 Tours de France. Whether acknowledged or not, we all saw him do it. Made millions. Marion Jones was on steroids for years. Pocketed millions in endorsements. Who cares if you take the medals. They didn't take the money back. A-Rod signed not 1 but 2 of the biggest contracts in baseball history exceeding 250 million each time. I can go on and on with examples of cheaters either getting better positions or thriving so much financially that by the time they were caught, it really didn't matter.
The NCAA never catches people in the act. When they do finally sanction a school, most, if not all the offenders have moved on. Plus they take way too long to render a decision. Roy Williams has had a cloud over his program for 5 years or so yet he is competing for a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP this weekend. Its crazy.
