I completely understand where you're coming from.
I would suggest, however, that not much has changed in college athletics between this week and last, in the sense that the naughtiness you rightly lament--the continued rise of snake oil salesmen like John Calipari; the misfeasance or nonfeasance at Penn State (only the alleged cover up being a University matter, not the sexual predation); and today's NYTimes story on the parallel judicial system for college athletes--has been present for decades. Is it worse now, or are we just more aware of it now?
My thought would be that though there is a higher quantity of money flowing through college sports now than ever before, the collusion and troubled waters have been distilled a bit over the years. We're just more aware of the troubles that arise because of increases in transparency. That makes it all the more bothersome though, doesn't it? These guys are going to get caught...and yet they still try to keep wrongdoing under wraps.
People speak of corruption in college sports much the same way they talk about corruption in politics. I think that in both instances, things are generally better than they once were, they're just not as good as any of us as fans (or voters) would like them to be.
None of the above solves your quandary. For that, I apologize.
