So nobody has a better argument than "because some schools can afford it and other school can't", correct?

No, I pretty clearly said the reason is to prevent further escalation of the football arms race. Kinda like how a guy who gets rich by illegal gains doesn't want to blantely spend the money on cars and houses in order to avoid drawing attention to himself.

But if that's the justification, why does it start and stop there?

It doesn't. The NCAA all the time puts a cap on the arms race when they can.

That is why they ruled the LHN couldn't have high school games on it. Or why teams can't have Spring Games off campus. Or why we have rules like the "bump rule."

They are trying to stay ahead of the situation but the sport is worth too much now for them to prevent everything, so they just try to prevent rapid escalations.
