This sounds like a crime for the acceptance of money, not the person paying it.

You're already assuming it's a crime, I'm still trying to convince myself of what the crime is.

Well lets use human nature here. You yourself know that if you are making $45k wouldn't you like to make $60k if you could? If you make $60k wouldn't you like to make $75k?
So the NCAA allows everyone to pay players $X amount. Now the playing field is even right? Well for a short period of time, until school Y sees a 5* recruit and an associate coach has a 'way' of giving the recruit more $ to influence a decision toward coach's university. It is more than the allowable $X. So pretty soon the 'allowable amount' is just a new starting point for those great recruits to be enticed to go to those schools which did the dirty dance before.
I don't see this truly being completely solved by paying players.. .

I thought this was all supposed to go away when we started paying players. They're victims!!
