Fine the hell out of the schools, but don't punish kids that had nothing to do with previous transgressions. From the article about Louisville self-imposing a one-year postseason ban:

Pitino said he informed the players of the decision about an hour before the news conference. The postseason ban hit hardest for the team's two leading scorers, graduate transfers Damion Lee and Trey Lewis, both of whom came to Louisville so they could play in the NCAA tournament for the first time in their careers as seniors.

Pitino said after he informed the team of the news, Lee and Lewis cried and the rest of the players hugged them.
