The joke isn't the NCAA or the colleges, the joke is the win at all costs mentality that has been associated with NCAA Football or big college business.
The NCAA is what it is, a peanut in a field of elephants. The Elephants mill around at will and occasionally offer one of their own up for sacrifice to maintain the allusion of gamesmanship.
Until the millions of dollars in greed money isn't at stake the game will be about producing a better product, growing revenue and protecting your slice of the pie at all costs. The days of playing the game for fun are over, now it is a "who's going to pay me" mentality and that is what killed college football as a pure sport.
