buying in coding skills

Why do these academics need to government to set up a site? Can they not do it at least for their own University ? - if not I know some Indian guys who can knock out a site !!
Seriously though I wonder who would have the will or manpower to check all these assignments against the myriad of coding site available? and then tying it back to an individual with (I would guess) a hotmail style address.
If I was one of the guys offering these services I'd welcome a site that told me what was coming up and get my guys creating 40 differing versions of the code ready to go on demand.
I recall some years ago software that tested the consistency of Shakespeare work to see what he might not have written. Could the university not run a scheme where the students all have to create an module of code under controlled circumstances and use this as the learning seed of the remaining assignments to check for likely hood of cheating. Sounds like a good research project to me!
