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.

Expected.

Lulz yeah I'm sure we'll get right on that 

[Horn of Gabriel 1614]

The money, eh whatever, the AD can afford that.

The student section is GA yes?  Not sure how they're going to find people and ban them, I guess they'll get a dozen scapegoats.

[Ghost of LL 15539]

Yeah--let's dig through the cushions of our couch to come up with . . . [suppresses laughter] . . . $250,000.

I'm surprised they didn't make us send Kirby's bitchass a gift basket.

It ain't WHAT they were throwing it's THAT they were throwing.

[CurlyDumps 4476]

Isn't this just another week in the SEC? What was the fine for pelting Lane Kiffin with batteries?

[956 Worldwide 34715]

I think this is identical to what they handed down to Tennessee for the Kiffen incident. 

[6th Street 6412]

This is the CFB equivalent of me giving my 4 year old daughter a time out 

[HornsOverIthaca 2333]

Next time...full size 5-gallon Ozarka water cooler bottles...filled entirely with pennies.

[DanTheHorn 4931]

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

[Hank_Hill 18876]

All refs suck. Nobody is special.

[Hank_Hill 18876]

We should pay the fine using last nights alcohol sales

Time for CDC to load up an 18 wheeler and send the SEC the fine.

[Tex Pete 20396]

Fuck the SEC. Fuck Kirby Smart. Fuck Georgia. And fuck their trashy fans.

All this talk about needing to be SEC ready and they’re all a bigger bunch of hand-wringing pussies than any Big 12 fan base

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.  

[CTC2 2797]

Shitty fans, conference office that meddles in outcomes of games, and generally terrible academics. I fucking hate the SEC.

It is.

[Helobious 9461]

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

[statsman 5471]

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

[Cairn Horn88 8271]

More details on the “punishment “:

https://www.statesman.com/story/sports/college/football/2024/10/20/texas-football-punishments-sec-georgia-fans-throw-debris/75768281007/

“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.”

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.

[Fondren & Main 6724]

[yoladu 4094]

look, does Texas have a history of fans throwing water bottles on the field? No.

something pretty egregious must have happened for it to have happened Sat night. Anyone want to look into that?!

[Underdog 28709]

Texas fans handled it all wrong.  What you do is find out if these Refs own a business (like a roofing business)and if they do you call that business and harass them, leave shitty reviews on Yelp.

Like everyone else here, you don’t get it. If you don’t think Texas gets extra hostile treatment the rest of the way you’re insane
