SEC Fines Texas $250,000 for Fan Disruption
The University of Texas has been fined $250,000 by the Southeastern Conference (SEC) following an incident during a football game against Georgia, where fans threw debris onto the field in protest of a controversial officiating call. The incident occurred after Texas cornerback Jahdae Barron's interception was nullified by a defensive pass interference penalty, which was later overturned by officials. SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey stated that such behavior is unacceptable at any SEC event and outlined additional requirements for Texas, including identifying and penalizing those responsible for throwing debris and reviewing its alcohol policies. The university issued an apology and emphasized that they do not condone unsportsmanlike conduct, while Georgia coach Kirby Smart noted the potential for such actions to influence officiating decisions. This incident occurred during a game that ended in a 30-15 defeat for the Longhorns, who were ranked No. 1 in the AP Top 25.
