A lot of money is involved in sports and the media is pointing the finger at officials more and more.

Acted like they would not come true how? I do not believe I said any such thing. I know I would not believe such a thing either. Either way it goes, writing an article means nothing. This is not SI or an ESPN the Magazine story. If the NCAA had a problem with the system they would do something about it awhile ago. Do not make it seem that the NCAA is not completely aware of guys like Welmer or Valentine working every day all over the country. The media writing a story is not going to make them be so surprised by this news.
