Texas fined $250K, apologizes to Georgia, officials for fan behavior

The Texas Longhorns, after issuing an apology earlier Sunday, were fined $250,000 by the Southeastern Conference for fans throwing trash onto the field after a controversial pass interference call during Saturday’s 30-15 loss to the Georgia Bulldogs on Saturday night.

The SEC said the fine was for “interrupting the competitive opportunity for both teams and endangering contest participants.” It also requires Texas to “use all available resources” — including security, stadium and television video — to identify those who threw trash onto the field or at the Bulldogs — and prohibit them from attending Texas athletics events for the remainder of the academic year.

The SEC said it would not suspend alcohol sales privileges for Texas, but the conference reserves the right to do so if requirements are not met.

“The throwing of debris and resulting interruption of play that took place Saturday night cannot be part of any SEC event,” SEC commissioner Greg Sankey said.Tennessee fans throw trash on field vs. Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss
