I think I finally get the answer to the initial question.
 
So by the old rules the only way to receive a tournament ban was to have an APR (rolling 4 year) below 900 for 3 years in a row, without a waiver.
 
So last year UConn would have been in year 1, which only results in being put on notice.  Year two would be this year which would result in scholarship reduction.  Year three would have been next year.  However, by year three, if the unofficial scores are true then UConn would be well above the 900 and likely well above the 930 as well during that third year.
 
Now under the old rules you could also receive and immediate scholarship reduction if the score was below 925 and a player left in bad standing.  UConn received this penalty in addition to the warning (noted above).  This year under the old rules UConn should have only received the "historic" penalty of automatic 2 scholarship penalty.  Subsequently, they would get both scholarships back the next year.
 
So they would still be punished twice for the bad scores, regardless.  The ban exacerbates the punishment though.
 
Oddly, Calhoun has said UConn is getting back the two scholarships.  I don't know if this is based on a waiver, the idea UConn has increasing APR scores or what.
