AUSTIN, Texas -- The Big 12 on Wednesday fined Texas $25,000 and issued a public reprimand as penalty for fans storming the court after the No. 20 Longhorns beat No. 8 Kansas in men's basketball.
Hundreds of fans rushed onto the court after Texas won 79-76 on Monday night.
Host schools "have a duty to ensure an environment that provides the visiting team and game officials a safe exit from the court," Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby said.
"In this instance, execution of the university's court-storming plan did not adequately provide the protections necessary to safeguard visiting team personnel," Bowlsby said.
