Athletes get free stuff literally all the time.   None of them don't take the shoes, clothes, etc - why stop there?  
They are brought up expecting to get stuff handed to them, because they do, routinely.

They're not allowed to have jobs, so getting some walking around $ for "volunteering" is probably a lot more common than you might want to believe.

It is completely unrealistic to expect teenagers not to take free stuff when it's offered to them.

As with rules and laws in the real world, there are levels of  importance and severity of them, and the corresponding penalties for violating them.

SU's "violations" were equivalent to minor traffic violations - unpaid parking tickets, not coming to a full stop, etc.  
Yet we were penalized like it was vehicular manslaughter or a 3rd DUI.

Meanwhile, Llvll and UNC (amongst others not yet publicly announced) have been committing the equivalent of multiple felonies for many, many years - and to date, their penalties are pending, and/or not nearly as severe as ours were.

You don't see the difference there?
