Those who committed the crimes either have already paid or are going to pay the legal price.
Don’t drag down the innocent with them.

This argument can be made for just about any violation of the rules.
Every single time an athletic program is punished, it hurts the "university’s athletes, fans, students, alumni, faculty members and anyone else involved with the school" who are 100% innocent and didn't have anything to do with the wrongdoing.
That's just the way it works. It's a little thing called "accountability."
