I don't agree with the death penalty ever. It punishes the wrong people. They should be punished as harshly as possible in a way that impacts the current students as little as possible. Their degrees have already been tarnished enough, frankly.
Normally, I completely agree. But at this point, the students are willingly participating in widespread academic fraud AND the athletic department is raking in mad profit off of a cheated system. Shut the whole thing down, let students attempt to transfer to schools that will accept them, and make the school rebuild. Anything else reinforces the farce that shite like this is turning college athletics into.

They are? I'm talking about the current students at UNC, not just athletes. The current athletes likely aren't doing anything wrong either.
Also, think about the collateral damage of the death penalty to other schools in the ACC. There's the financial consequences of losing those games first of all. The B1G wants Virginia and would likely want Duke as well. The Big 12 would want Clemson and FSU. Would those schools just say "frick it" and move on? Pretty good chance of that. A death penalty to UNC could easily result in the demise of the ACC just like it did the SWC. The ramifications of something like that are huge.

The problem is this is a glass house situation.
Everyone was willing to pile on Penn State because no one rapes children. But at some level almost every major program in college football has at least one guy who barely qualified that has his assigned piece of tutor meat do his work for him.
Heck to me what happened at Chapel Hill is more an example of the farce that is college athletics today, not what it will turn into. The next threat to amatuer football is not just the colleges covering for the kids, but the entire community doing it too. The way those police officers in Tallahassee have protected Mr. Thug from the law is almost third world shite. That is the real violation.
