No. It wasn't until a few months after the penalties were handed out and transfers were happening that the school didn't see a way they could field a viable team, so they cancelled the away games that were scheduled for 1988. But to self impose, they had to present this PRIOR to sancations being handed out, not after. That was the price they had to deal with for their corruption and sanctions
