No one governs the conferences, aside from the courts, and possibly congress via the power of the purse if they ever wanted to. The NCAA was formed by the conferences, and the NCAA only has the power that the conferences choose to give to them.
One reason why you'll never see the death penalty handed down against a BCS school, aside from the spectacular damage it did to SMU, is that the school's conference would likely rebel, and the NCAA would be kicked to the curb.
The maximum the NCAA can probably do is that smoking crater they left in USC after their violations.
