Big Ten fines Michigan State, reprimands Mark Dantonio, Jim Harbaugh and Devin Bush Jr.

The pregame altercation between Michigan State and Michigan last week resulted in action from the Big Ten on Wednesday.

Michigan State was fined by the conference and Spartans coach Mark Dantonio, Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh and Wolverines linebacker Devin Bush Jr. were reprimanded for violations of the Big Ten's sportsmanship policy.

Dantonio was reprimanded for "failing to take action to mitigate a foreseeable conflict from occurring.
