The only time it has been discussed or used without the repeat offender tag is when major violations are mixed with a major scandal. Penn St, Baylor, Western Kentucky actually self imposed the death penalty in their case because it was so egregious.

Morehouse College was a different type of case as the coaches knowingly brought professional soccer players on the team and hide their identities and their was no institutional control, going as far as some not even realizing they had a soccer program to even check with their compliance. They disbanded soccer before the 2 year death penalty was handed out.
That's why Women's Basketball and Men's Track being placed on probation in late October, 2016, is so important, especially if the Network was caught in November/December, 2016, during the current recruiting cycle doing business as usual. This would arguably trigger the Repeat Offender status.

From above "Baylor was eligible for the "death penalty" since its men's tennis program was on probation for major violations;"
