If you think schools like OSU, Mich. St, Mich, pretty much the whole SEC, Texas, and USC have a competitive advantage already. Just imagine if they could pay players. The same goes for Duke, UNC, ect for basketball.
This also might open up the flood gates for Ivy league schools becoming the best teams in the country considering their alumni can probably donate the most to build great teams.

Maybe these scholarship athletes have it worse than i thought. If the best player in the country is being forced to steal just to eat then threre must be a problem.

UPDATE
12:40 PM PT -- Jameis just released a statement, saying, "I went to the supermarket with the intent to purchase dinner but made a terrible mistake."
11:07 AM PT -- Officials say Jameis Winston stole $32.72 worth of food from Publix grocery store -- crab legs and crawfish ... and they have the VIDEO to prove it.
Cops say they responded to a complaint that Winston stole the food around 10pm Tuesday night.
Investigators went to Winston's home ... where he said he "forgot" to pay ... but made no effort to return to the store to pay.
Winston was NOT arrested, but given a "pre-arrest civil citation" -- and is required to complete 20 hours of community service.
If he fails to complete the community service, he could be prosecuted for shoplifting.
UPDATE

FSU football coach Jimbo Fisher added, "I fully support Coach Martin’s decision and will also make sure that Jameis meets all obligations, which I know he will."

Once players start getting paid obscene amounts to go to a school, how many kids get a "signing bonus" that amounts to more than the competing school can afford just to ride the bench and not attend the other school?
This whole proposition to pay players is an abyss below that some feel comfortable jumping into. I do not share that carefree feeling.

I think the issue is that people think about it from the standpoint of the players being taken advantage of...which is true. So it creates an emotional reaction for a great deal of people.
Once you delve into it, you'll see that it's literally impossible for schools to do it from a financial standpoint. And that even if they did...there would be no more competition for smaller schools or those without massive endowments. Unless, of course, schools wanted to way into the red year after year.
And that's before you get into all the other headaches that we've discussed...

Why's he stealing crab legs and crawfish? If he's got it that bad at least steal ramon noodles and be a budget shoplifter.
