I've been seeing this narrative lately, especially from national media guys, that that team up north "earned back" their respect by beating the best teams on their schedule (and the playoffs) after their cheating scandals came out. 

Of course, this is based off the assumption that they stopped cheating as soon as the allegations came out. But here's my honest question, why would they? 

If you can cheat your way to a national championship, get caught while you're doing it, only for the NCAA president to release a weird statement about you winning "fair and square," why stop? Why wouldn't you start cheating even more? 

And then there's the next question, do we really think the program who tried to gaslight the nation about these scandals has any intention of doing the right thing going forward?
