The difference between honor/purity and dishonor/impurity oftentimes is the difference between what comes to light and what doesn’t, what is uncovered and what isn’t, what is confessed and what is denied.
BYU fessed up about what happened in the Nick Emery case, it self-reported, and the NCAA punished it for being forthcoming, jumping at the chance to find victory in the mistakes made by a player, and a booster or two, not so much a coach or an entire program. But the appeal for the vacating of 47 wins in which Emery played, in the midst of taking benefits from a friend/booster, amid a few other slaps on account of other indiscretions, was swatted away by the NCAA, keeping in place the punishments earlier thrown down.
