Nope. It was only a one year ban for SMU for 1987. They voluntarily gave up their 1988 season. It just goes to show just how crippling the Death Penalty is even for just one season. It was also one of main reasons the SWC fell apart.

The death penalty—part of the “repeat violators” rule in official NCAA parlance—wiped out SMU’s entire 1987 season and forced the Mustangs to cancel their 1988 campaign as well.
