They aren't. Their school is still ranked highly.
They just play the game very well. They control the message, not letting the message control them.
RU should take notes.
They are on academic probation for one year via the accreditation agency in the region, and it will likely be extended for an additional year, with the additional "self-reported" academic missteps, post - Wainstein Report. The NCAA COI punishment is expected to be handed down in March. The reckoning cannot come soon enough.
Mind you, UNC is still proudly strutting, offering no self-imposed punishment for its 20-plus years of cheating. Today's FB and BB teams were built on those ill-gotten victories. Their tradition of athletic excellence is a sham. Will be interesting to see how the national media avoids or skirts the COI's pending judgement, as the Heels likely make their way into the ACC championships in FB and BB.
