If a member of your family gets caught and convicted of domestic violence, do you just automatically disown them and pretend they were never a part of your life?
For most people, that's a no. I get that this is a very extreme example, but for some people, it's not far off from their line of thinking. Fans support their schools both through good times and bad times. Now, there's the people like those mentioned above who think the school did nothing wrong, or Briles should still have his job, or what-have-you of that stuff -- that's a different story. For what I imagine is "the normal fan", it doesn't make sense to just give up and move on to another team -- that's outrageous, and it's asking a lot to change what you have believed in for what is likely your entire life. I'm willing to bet that if ISU was in Baylor's place, you and many others (whom are crucifying Baylor) would be acting the same as most Baylor fans: sticking with the team, and just waiting for everything to go away (regardless of what measures that takes, whether it's underpenalizing the team, or receiving the death penalty). Someone above brought up SMU, look at them: football team has received the death penalty, and the basketball team has gotten into large trouble on multiple occasions -- they still have a decently loyal fanbase after all of those shenanigans.
People make mistakes, dumb decisions, and some people are just simply bad people. But, at the end of the day, fans will stay fans. The sun will still come up the next morning. Many fans are empathetic to the victims of the sexual abuse ordeals, and many fans are just normal people -- they will still be fans, even if they realize the evils that the school has been involved in.
