So they are just playing to win trophies & rings?
We can blame the Coaches, however the NCAA is complicit in this as well. All that needs to happen is to have an equal distribution of all monies earned from NCAA basketball. Remove the monetary incentive and the cheating will stop.
The NCAA allows certain schools to get away with stuff and penalized the ones that can not afford to fight them in court.
Cheating is rampant in collegiate big time sports.
I think you're confusing the P5 issue with the Final Four run. They are not the same.
The ultimate reason to cheat is to have the players necessary to make a final four run on a consistent basis.
That has absolutely nothing to do with revenue sharing in D1 basketball .
Again you're conflating P5 revenue sharing with NCAA tournament revenue sharing. They are not the same.
