Big 12 statement about rushing field.....

Did any of you even read it? He never reprimanded the field storming, he said more needs to be done to ensure the safety of the student athletes. FOX’s camera was right on a fan going after an OSU player before the police intervened. That crap should never happen even if it’s a bitter rival.

How do you even know the fan was going at the OSU player? I've seen it a couple times over and I haven't seen anything in there to assume the guy was acting maliciously towards their players

Seems like you're not allowed to have fun at football games anymore? WTF the game is supposed to be about fun.
 
Seems like a restrained response. He must have gotten pressured by someone to make a statement, but that was a very coach-speak type of statement. Our set up does make it hard to exit for opposing teams when we storm the field. As long as they have to go against the grain of the student section flooding onto the field it will raise concerns of the professional Holgorsen type people.

Was there a statement about erasing touchdowns for no reason?

The quotes from Pollard here are interesting, considering we chose to switch sidelines and put visiting teams in front of students.


Pollard mentions the student was going after the OSU player in this article. @CysRage was right..

Throw the book at this idiot. I have no idea why going after a player in a game you had no part in winning is the first thing on someone's mind rather than celebrating with your friends.

It was a necessary change as I’m sure you know. They could move the students, but 1 field storm a year doesn’t really seem to make the headache of reseating worth it probably.
 
"We had an incident in Saturday’s game where a student confronted one of the Oklahoma State players. That student was arrested and ejected from the stadium. We can’t have that happen. That’s like putting gas on a fire."

I didn't realize this had happened. Makes a lot more sense why the conference felt they needed to say something

I don't remember it being "necessary" so much as it was a "preference of our current head coach."

These aren't my concerns anyway, I'm just sharing what Pollard said.
