The Kansas State marching band sure created a hullabaloo with its halftime performance Saturday night, huh?
It has resulted in a fine of $5,000 to be paid to the Big 12 Conference for violating the league’s sportsmanship policy, a one game suspension of the band’s director, Frank Tracz, and a change in policy which will mandate approval by the school’s office of student life and athletic development for all future formations and designs of K-State halftime shows.
Kansas State announced the penalties Tuesday.
Well, the game – a 34-0 blowout over South Dakota – gave folks little to talk about, outside of the injury to quarterback Jesse Ertz.
