Even if your premise is accurate, which I'm not sure it's as accurate as you'd like to believe, that doesn't make it any better. That's like saying one guy cheats on his wife with a woman he takes to Vegas b/c he can afford it. Another guy cheats on his wife with a woman he takes to Biloxi b/c that's all he can afford. The guy who took the chick to Biloxi isn't less guilty of cheating just b/c he couldn't afford more. They both are cheaters.

I mean I was being sarcastic about the pizza/house thing. The best players max out <$300k. Probably not enough to actually buy a good house. And funnily enough all those times Miami was caught paying players..it quite literally was pizza money - couple hundred for food and shite so the players wouldn't have to go rob people and shite.

Miami literally can't get away with shite. Just last year we had 3 players suspended the entire season for renting luxury cars. Wanna know why they got caught? because broke as college football players that come from the inner city shouldn't be riding around in fricking Range Rovers or fully loaded Challengers.

Both may cheat, but the extent and regularity of the cheating is not even close to the same. To change your metaphor a bit, a guilty serial killer is going to get more time than a guy that's guilty of 2nd degree murder.

Personally I think we should just pay these kids and quit with all the BS about these being "amateurs". I don't think its wrong the players are accepting $100k, a job for their single mom and an apartment with low rent, and a bonus car to go to a certain school. If FSU/UF was offering me that I might choose them over Miami too. No matter how much I love Miami.
