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.

I went and looked for a little video on the people you mentioned, and I could not find an example of any actual illegal pitches. Do you have video?
Often, what looks like a "double plant" isn't. And 2 feet is wider than you think, especially when you have to be COMPLETELY out to be illegal.
