I don’t think the measures taken against Miyagino stable are meant to “punish” the wrestlers per se, but are just another way for the JSA to passive-aggressively take another jab at Hakuho by making life at his stable as unbearable as possible and potentially scare off new recruits. Seeing as they already seem to have a vendetta against him, it’s hard not to see their desire to chase off prospective new wrestlers to his stable when his side ventures and name recognition are such a big draw.
That is valid. There are theories that the JSA are out to knock him down a few pegs but I think if it was many other stables, they would have closed it down. The fact they gave him another chance is telling that they recognise he is good for the sport. I think the JSA really needed to get a good control over the poorly supervised wrestlers there first. Things will improve as they understand the situation too. Despite his bad behaviour, I do feel a bit for Hokuseiho. I thought he might get a chance and some better direction. Shame for someone so young to lose a career like that. Very poor behaviour though and not likely to have been able to stay at that stable.

That was a good statement from hakuho.
