Big Ten Fines Michigan and Ohio State $100,000 Each for Postgame Brawl; No Player Suspensions
Dec 1, 2024, 10:58 PM
The Big Ten Conference has fined the University of Michigan and Ohio State University $100,000 each for violating the league's sportsmanship policy following a postgame altercation on Saturday in Columbus. The fines are in response to a scuffle that erupted after the game, which led to some law enforcement officials using pepper spray to disperse the crowd. The Big Ten stated that the actions of both teams 'jeopardized the safety of participants and bystanders.' No individual players will receive disciplinary action. Both schools are expected to accept the fines, with Ohio State expressing respect for the conference's decision and emphasizing that 'good sportsmanship is always important in everything we do at Ohio State.'
