In accordance with Big 12 Conference Principles and Standards of Sportsmanship, the Conference has issued a $25,000 fine of UCF for the court storming that followed Wednesday’s men’s basketball victory over No. 3 Kansas.
“Ensuring a safe environment for all players, coaches, officials and support staff is paramount,” said Big 12 Conference Commissioner Brett Yormark. “Although well intended, the UCF event management policy did not provide for the protection of the visiting team and game officials to safely exit the court.”
