J. LeRoy, the Pointers finished the season with an overall record of 12–2–1 and a mark of 7–1 in conference play, winning the WSUC title. Wisconsin–Stevens Point advanced to the NAIA Division II Championship playoffs, where the Pointers defeated 1987 Westmar Eagles Westmar in the first round, 1987 St. Ambrose Fighting Bees St. Ambrose in the quarterfinals, and 1987 Geneva Golden Tornadoes Geneva in the semifinals before tying Pacific Lutheran in the title game. In May 1988, Wisconsin–Stevens Point forfeited their twelve wins, one tie, and both the WSUC and NAIA titles because of the use of two ineligible players, wide receiver Aatron Kenney, and fullback Keith Majors. Both natives of Dallas, Kenney and Majors had each attended Cisco Junior College in Cisco, Texas for two years and then Angelo State University in San Angelo, Texas during the 1986–87 academic year, before transferring to Wisconsin–Stevens Point. An internal investigation conducted by Wisconsin–Stevens Point revealed that both players had improperly altered college transcripts and had violated National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) eligibility rules.
