The Big 12 announced Tuesday a public reprimand and $25,000 fine on Baylor for its handling of field storming incidents that occurred during and after Saturday’s 27-14 win over the University of Oklahoma. The Big 12 said the punishment is in accordance with Big 12 Conference Sportsmanship and Ethical Conduct policies.
“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,” Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby said.
