In addition to vacating and forfeiting games, the NCAA has the power to issue other forms of sanctions. The harshest sanction is a ban on a school's competing in a sport for at least one year. Sometimes referred to as the NCAA's death penalty, this sanction has been imposed twice against college basketball programs: (1) the Kentucky Wildcats men's basketball program for the 1952–53 season; and (2) the Louisiana–Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns men's basketball program (then known as the University of Southwestern Louisiana) for the 1973–74 and 1974–75 seasons.
