I don't know if the reaction is a commentary on the audience's attention span. Scandals can persist past the point of new information, and we still love it. This story is just a lot less interesting than they anticipated
This.
The problem with the story is that there is nothing revealing, shocking or eye-opening. Even the most casual of college football fans is left thinking "how is any of this different from what was going on in the 70's, 80's or 90's?" In fact, college football is probably cleaner and on a more level playing field now than at any point in the past 40+ years.

a lot (probably most) people don't realize this. hell, when it looked like you were going to be good, your next trip was to the auto dealer. players then never payed for clothes, food, drinks, etc and alums gave them the $100 handshake all the time not to mention cush summer jobs where you didn't hve to show up very often (like class). i was in one class with pistol pete (the actually called roll) and he didn't show up one time all year. of course there was always a muffled "here" from someone in the back. the ncaa is not perfect but they have damn near an impossible job. all these young people stating they should be dismantled is like saying the police force should be dismantled because you hate cops and they have picky laws.
