How does a college sports death penalty really work?

This talk has been thrown around a lot obviously. I'm not interested in the debate on whether it should or shouldn't be used. I'm just curious how it works. Obviously the NCAA can't actually stop a a school from getting kids to come to their school, paying for their education, having them put on pads, and running practices every day. Is it more like "We're telling all the rest of our member schools not to schedule games against you, and if they choose to it will not be recognized and they will also be punished. And you will not be allowed to play our schools until you agree with our punishments?"
I've always wondered the same thing about the NCAA ruling a player ineligible, where if the school really wanted to they could put him in a uniform and trot him out there to play the game. Would an NCAA official come running on the field waving his arms yelling "STOP THE GAME!"

They can ban them from participating. Not that difficult.

they would have to forfeit that game and likely receive bowl bans and scholarship losses. pulling a move so bold would cost a major sports program millions

They shut you down for a couple of years, which fricks your shite up for the next 25 years...just ask SMU.

FYI here were the sanctions against SMU....
The 1987 season was canceled; only conditioning drills (without pads) would be permitted until the spring of 1988.
All home games in 1988 were canceled. SMU was allowed to play their seven regularly scheduled away games so that other institutions would not be financially affected. The university would ultimately choose not to do so (see below).
The team's existing probation was extended to 1990. Its existing ban from bowl games and live television was extended to 1989.
SMU lost 55 new scholarship positions over 4 years.
The team was allowed to hire only five full-time assistant coaches, instead of the typical nine.
No off-campus recruiting would be permitted until August 1988, and no paid visits could be made to campus by would-be recruits until the start of the 1988–89 school year.

My parents were at USL (now UL) when they got hammered. The university just agreed to not field a team.

NCAA is a semi-voluntary association. It is "run" by presidents and ad's of member schools.
A team could leave at any time but they would find it very difficult to find any competition to play against.
