Very tough to say. The "failure to monitor" charge has resulted in some serious penalties in the past. However, the whole incident deals with recruiting services, and the failure to monitor them, specifically by not receiving enough written information from them. It's also not something any program has ever been punished for.
At the end of the day, it's a very grey area, and I'm not quite sure the NCAA wants to open that can of worms. UO has a ton of money and if the NCAA were to slam them for that I'm sure they'd fight it. They'd probably use a defence along the lines "you have to go after every BCS school if you see fit to hit us for something that lies in such a grey area and that most teams are probably doing to some extent."
If I had to guess that may lose a couple of scholarships but I really don't see a bowl ban coming from all this.
