Could it be -- just a guess here -- that the NCAA is cultivating a pro wrestling audience? That the conduct that on its face is unsportsmanlike is actually all part of the show, and appreciated by the audience? And the powers that be understand this?

If this hypothesis is correct, then it would be limited to big time football, and you wouldn't see it at JV games, lightweight games, or the DIII games where the audience gets in for free and is usually outnumbered by the players. Anyone know if this sort of coach conduct is widespread at the lower levels too, or just a phenomenon of the showcase contests?
