Why do we assume the Power 5 wants to pay its players? The same programs land the best recruits year in and year out.
If the ability existed to pay players with a spending cap, what would change for the power 5? They are still going to land the top recruits because of history, tradition, conference affiliation, location, TV exposure, facilities etc. Now it would just cost them more money.
Yes, schools are already paying some players under the table, but that's because it creates an advantage to do so. Cheating always does. Setting spending caps and paying players won't change the cheating. Teams will still cheat in an attempt to gain an advantage.

The Louisville board is delusional. First it was Brad Stevens leaving an NBA Championship contender to be the new coach of Louisville, now its Gregg Marshall. LOL! Some of these guys are seriously delusional. Like any coach wants to leave any program, especially a possible Final Four program, for a program on the verge of the death penalty. Good read. http://scout.com/college/louisville/...The-Yum-103990

Not sure if it has been mentioned - Louisville's athletic director was fired.
Late Wednesday morning the University of Louisville fired athletic director Tom Jurich amid a massive scandal that ensnared the university’s basketball program, sources told Yahoo Sports, and signs indicate that by afternoon head basketball coach Rick Pitino will be fired, as well. Interim University of Louisville President Greg Postel has scheduled a 1 p.m. ET news conference, which he said neither Pitino nor Jurich will attend. Pitino, the Hall of Fame basketball coach who guided the Cardinals to the 2013 national championship and two other Final Fours, is expected to be fired after the second major scandal of the past two years enveloped his program. In June, an NCAA investigation culminated in a ruling that forced Louisville to vacate that national title as punishment for a stripper scandal funded by a staffer on behalf of players and recruits.

And if it was, it's more likely to be akin to Independent League baseball, the CHL, or arena football. Those athletes aren't swimming in the money that ESPN is promising these basketball players they are worth. In fact, I'd wager they are making significantly less than the benefits college students receive (free room and board and tuition as a baseline).

Arizona may have offered Nassir Little $150,000. Little is believed to be "Player 12."
We were recruiting Little for a hot minute. http://shockernet.net/forum/showthre...F-2018-Offered
Guess we didn't have Nike/Adidas money.The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off.
