The Big 12 fined Baylor $25,000 for the way it handled its fans rushing onto the field following the football team's win over Oklahoma last week.
Conference Commissioner Bob Bowlsby issued a statement on the matter Tuesday:
“We have a duty to ensure a safe game environment that provides the visiting team secure egress from the field for players, staff and support personnel, and protection of the team bench area. I appreciate Baylor’s advance planning and communication, and although well planned, the end-of-game circumstances made its field storming plan impossible to execute, resulting in an interruption of play, impeding the visiting team from reaching their locker room and damage to OU bench area equipment.
