If an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty is committed by someone on the bench (like a coach or other personnel) during a scoring play in NCAA football, the score would still stand. Bench fouls are considered dead-ball fouls, so they do not affect the outcome of the play itself. Like other unsportsmanlike conduct penalties, this would result in a 15-yard penalty enforced on the ensuing kickoff.

However, if the unsportsmanlike conduct was flagrant or involved multiple fouls, the officials have the discretion to take additional disciplinary action, but the score itself would not be negated.
