Just for the record, here is what Old School very conveniently left out above. It is the procedure that the NCAA recommends and is the one that should be used in the situation that we are discussing. Please note that it is basically similar to the recommended NFHS recommendation also. I'll post it now because I don't think that Old School is about to cite the NFHS case play.
NCAA RULE 10-6-6: "When the misconduct of a follower(s) is extreme or excessive, such behavior may be penalized by the official requesting home-management to eject from the premises the team follower(s) involved in the misbehavior. In such case, an indirect foul shall NOT be assessed."
What Old School did above was akin to issuing a manual without the instructions.
That's been there a long time too, Old School.
