So, what is the death penalty?

The death penalty — as it pertains to collegiate sports, of course — is when the NCAA eliminates a specific member institution or a member institution’s team from being allowed to compete in NCAA contests.
Historically, the death penalty has only been issued to five schools since the 1950’s; and, each program eliminated from NCAA contention was reinstated within two seasons. Most notably, the NCAA used the death penalty against Southern Methodist University’s football program in 1987; most recently, Emmert could have charged Penn State football with the death penalty as a result of the Jerry Sandusky scandal, but opted not to. Louisville basketball is now tasked with attempting to avoid Emmert’s first use of the death penalty.
