It is not guaranteed, only speculations. This problem has occurred for decades and has never caused any overwhelming problems. The farthest they are speaking of going is to fine the team. For example, in the article linked, the SEC was one of the first targets for this 'issue'. Also, social media has a way of skewing the narrative into something it is not. I will not be convinced on topics unless it comes from the main source. As of now, nothing about this has come up from any NCAA, ESPN, or CFP committees.

This is not true. The article only talks about possible conferences for fine, not NCAA punishment or playoff consequences. There is no statement from the NCAa,ESPN, or the CFP backing this up. Field storming has happened for years without causing major issues. Social media is making it sound worse than it  is.If it were real, the NCAA would would have said something by now. 

False
