Under the sportsmanship, game management and alcohol availability policies established by the Southeastern Conference, the University of Texas will:

  • Be assessed a financial penalty of $250,000;
  • Be required to use all available resources, including security, stadium and television video, to identify individuals who threw objects onto the playing field or at the opposing team. All individuals identified as having been involved in disrupting the game shall be prohibited from attending Texas Athletics events for the remainder of the 2024-25 academic and athletic year;
  • Review and update its Athletics Department game management procedures and alcohol availability policies to prevent a recurrence of Saturday night’s disruption, which shall include an evaluation of agreed upon SEC Sportsmanship, Game Management and Alcohol policies to verify full compliance with existing standards, and
  • Following completion of this review, the University shall provide a report to the Conference Office to summarize its efforts to identify and penalize offenders and its plan to enact policies to prevent future similar incidents while ensuring compliance with Conference standards.

I say it again we had the gall of saying BIG XII refs sucked and we would finally get competent refs.

Crew that called Texas/jawja not even the worst in SEC for more flags...

Bama/Tenn crew known for calling more penalties had 26 accepted penalties yesterday.

More details on the “punishment “:

“The SEC also ruled that Texas must review and update its athletic department game management and alcohol availability policies. Texas and the SEC must come to an agreement on policy to comply with existing SEC standards. Lastly, Texas must conduct a report and submit it to the SEC that summarizes its efforts to find offenders of the rules and how it will prevent future occurrences from happening.”

Worth it. They don’t correct the call without the delay. 

The conference statement they put out was bullshit. They were not discussing anything until after they saw the reaction. Every official had gone back to their position on the field for the next play and didn’t come together until after the stoppage.  Better get ready. This is not the last time we get screwed by them. They protect their legacy members.

There’s a pretty unanimous negative reaction towards Texas online after that. The people on Reddit is expected, but the people on Twitter are having the same reaction. That’s a huge fucking deal

Well, fuck them.
