Why are the cynics, specifically Diogenes, rarely studied/talked about in class?

I've heard that it's because we don't have much texts on them -- only fragments. However, we also don't have many texts on the Pre-Socratics we study them regardless. 

Is Diogenes often brushed over because of his criticism of Plato?

Just a heads up - German philosopher Peter Sloterdijk wrote a voluminous book about the Cynics. He thinks they have a lot of influence in comtemporary society. *Critique of Cynical Reason*it is called. it's a pretty good read.
