Many college basketball fans were not surprised when nefarious and criminal activity was discovered by the FBI. The average fan has known college basketball has been dirty for decades.
Initially, there was some optimism the FBI investigation would actually clean up the game. Now, most fans believe the investigation had only a slight impact. The NCAA was left to pick up where the FBI stopped. History shows NCAA sanctions in college basketball are too few to counter the believed widespread cheating.
