The conference could withhold payments from the university until it comes in compliance with a procedure that all members of the conference to. There must be rules in the media rights agreements that the members have to be in good standing to receive payments.

Nebraska does have the option of withdrawing from the Big Ten. The other members would probably be happy with another 6%. I don’t think Nebraska would choose that over becoming compliant.
