Do the beleaguered drones of various Division I university compliance departments have a touchy relationship with media outlets like Yahoo! Sports?

The uncovering of violations and the sanctioning of offenders helps fix what is broken no matter who starts the process. We know that the NCAA and its members haven’t punted enforcement to the media and many talented and dedicated people are working from the inside. Outside help shouldn’t be turned away.
