They can look at RWBY's records and see that all of them are decent students that work hard. The only times they broke the rules no one was ever doing a aggressive attack in their group. If they're kicked out, and it's likely, at least they'll have time to investigate Cinder's people now. They can stop assuming they're good and see them for what they are.

The way I see it if a pro basketball star punches another no one goes to the couch of the rest of the team and says "yall put him up to it" or "the whole team is out of the playoff for this". That's that man. He chose to do that. Let the rest of the team move on. Not remotely the same thing. Basketball was made cause a Canadian wanted to keep a gym class active on a rainy day. This tournament exists to promote amiability within the 4 kingdoms and was made as a result of the 4 of them being at war and nearly getting everyone killed.

Fair or no fair, no one wants to see team RWBY win when one of their teammates went directly against EVERYTHING the tournament stands for. The crowd, that’s already attracting all the local grimm btw, will have lingering resentment for any of the members of RWBY, and that’s the last thing they want them to feel. I’m not just expecting them to be disqualified, I’m expecting the to let Cinders team compete as an apology for…you know…crippling one of their teammates.
