But if there was a previous USC foul, you could have this player ejected from the game. But not much else you can do unless you deem the action flagrant and it would have to be pretty bad if you ask me.

This depends on the rule set. In NFHS, this is a TD. The penalty is then enforced on the try.

In NCAA, the UNS is enforced as a live ball foul from the spot of the foul, per Rule 9-2-1. This means that if B accepts the penalty, which they will, A gets an untimed down from the B-25. If B declines, the game will continue with the try, and then the result of the try will determine if the game continues.

In the NFL, the period would not be extended due to the offensive foul, nor would the score count (Rule 4, Section 8, Article 2). The defense can request an untimed down for unsportsmanlike conduct by the offense, but only if it is committed "during a down prior to a safety, an interception of a forward pass, the recovery of a backward pass or fumble, or the offensive team failing to reach the line to gain on fourth down", i.e. in scenarios where the defense will next snap the ball legally because of acquiring possession.

This is assuming that the touchdown narrows the score to a differential where the try would have an effect on the game. If the try does not have an effect on the game, the game would be over in NFHS, and in NCAA and NFL, if the penalty is declined.
