As for what I would call: do we have a good general answer here? Some cases might call for UNS (Stanford band?), others for just clearing the field and trying to finish the game. I suppose a worst-case scenario would be one with inadequate security and potential violence, where you'd just suspend the thing and let the state sort it out.

But if we're just calling Unsportsmanlike, then like you said, there's no untimed down.
Let's be more specific than.
Say there is 1 second on the clock when the play begins. The offense down by 6 throws a pass deep to a receiver that somehow became clearly wide open, and he's likely, but not sure to score, but someone in the band or on the sideline (not a coach or player) actively prevents the ball from being caught at the 25 yard line.
USC? IP? With no time left on the clock, it obviously matters.
