The NCAA has handed down the 'death penalty' twice. In late 1952, the NCAA ordered the Kentucky Wildcats Basketball program to cancel the remainder of its schedule due to a point shaving scandal some of its players had been involved in between 1948-1951. And in 1987, the Southern Methodist Mustangs football season was cancelled due to payments given some of the players by the athletic department and boosters.
