The premiere umpires are working SEC games. Their games are meticulously scrutinized by assignors, trainers, and NCAA SUP staff watching at the parks, on TV, or on computers using streaming video. If these pitchers were as obviously guilty as you suggest, I would have to believe that something is being done to rectify the problem.

To date, I cannot recall seeing anything come out from those higher-ups instructing umpires to tighten up on their IP calls. Perhaps they don't think it's an issue.
