Went to an NCAA clinic last month, had a few college coaches there as speakers... one coach had a great bit of info:

He did the math, and determined that, in the time the ball takes to go from pitcher's hand, to catcher's hand, to F6's glove, it is physically impossible for a runner to cover 60'.

The message being: the only way they're safe is by leaving early, and he will continue to send his runners early until they are caught.

The base-stealing runners all do it, and only the most flagrant are called on it.
