Stallworth fallout

I've got to throw this out there.
Did Stallworth Academy in Stockton really get the death penalty for all sports for not one, but two years for just having ineligible athletes?
Come on.
This is a charter school that was fielding football for the first time.
No, there's a lot more to this than the Sac-Joaquin Section is telling us.
Lawsuits may soon follow.
Why are all sports being penalized? All I've heard is that 20 football players from the varsity and junior varsity have been ruled ineligible.
Of course, 20 is a large number.
Yet, even when Salinas had several sanction violations four years ago, costing all their sports programs a one-year banishment from the playoffs, they were still allowed to compete.
