Texas Fined for Fan Behavior in Game Controversy

During a controversial college football game between Texas and Georgia, Texas fans disrupted the game by throwing trash onto the field after a pass interference call negated a Texas interception. The officials conferred and reversed the call, allowing Texas to maintain possession, which led to a brief momentum shift although Georgia ultimately won 30-15. The Southeastern Conference (SEC) fined Texas $250,000 and outlined conditions the university must meet, including banning individuals who threw objects from attending events. The University of Texas apologized for the unsportsmanlike conduct and committed to preventing such incidents. Georgia's athletic director demanded an explanation from the SEC regarding the reversal process, criticizing how the situation was handled. Despite the controversy, the SEC emphasized that throwing debris is unacceptable and will be reviewed under sportsmanship policies.
