It's a money thing: coaches get paid more with winning teams. It makes the school look good, no doubt brings in revenue. And it would not surprise me in the least if these coaches were working under the table for NCAA schools, given the strict recruiting regulations and recent severe consequences to schools like Indiana University.
A smart kid doesn't have the media power compared to a basketball prodigy to rocket a school into national recognition (a la Butler U. 2011).
