Kansas State will pay a $5,000 fine and will suspend the band director for the school's Nov. 28 game against Kansas.

MANHATTAN, Kan. -- Kansas State says it will pay a $5,000 fine after its marching band shaped itself into the rival Jayhawk mascot and what appeared to be a large phallus during a halftime show.

The school said Tuesday that band director Frank Tracz will miss the Nov. 28 game against Kansas and that university officials must approval future halftime shows.
