Unfortunately, this one is really tough to reconcile without going straight to the "life is not fair" clause. There's no way to adequately punish those responsible in a solely personal matter. They also had a large sphere of influence and the culture they created there had a huge role to play in how this happened.

Also, you have to create a deterrent for future programs and the only way to do that is going to be with punishments that harm those who are not involved, namely the other athletes and students at the institution.
