Like Bilas said, the whole purpose of the sanctions is to shame the program and coach.  Once the 'cheater' tag is slapped on you, it's hard to shake.  There's no way most non-Syracuse fans are going to actually read the allegations and what Syracuse actually got punished for.  They don't care; they just know what they were told, which is that we cheated.  A lot of the sports media - or the famous ones with a real voice, at least - are lazy guys just there to cash checks.  They have no incentive to do any real research; a headline about a big time college program 'cheating' is more than enough to generate the views they want, regardless of what garbage they actually put in the article.  Then you have non-sports media members writing about it, despite being way out of their depth and possessing only cursory knowledge of the sport, organizations involved (NCAA and school), and actual violations.

Let them call us dirty.  It makes it easier to weed out the people whose opinions we should ignore at all times, people who should not be respected in any way shape or form.
