What I was told was that it's none of my business as an official to determine eligibility, just to ref the game. If I had specific info about a player who may have participated (i.e. read a report that said he was ejected the previous game), I would note that in a report to the assignor, but I would not directly penalize a team. As has been said, there is an appeal process in some states that could be underway and eligibility is not mentioned in the rules. Penalizing here could open a huge can of worms for any official, the problem's administrative in nature and should be handled there.
