Tech\u2019s fine is for repeated instances of objects being thrown onto the playing surface, while Kansas has been fined for disparaging comments about the Conference and a member institution, and an inaccurate statement regarding a pocketknife by head coach Lance Leipold.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cAfter a formal review, Texas Tech did not take sufficient steps to prevent and deter the repeated throwing of objects onto the field and team bench areas,\u201d said Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark. \u201cCoach Leipold\u2019s comments questioned the integrity and professionalism of both the Conference and a member institution. Both actions warranted a financial penalty. The Big 12 Conference prioritizes integrity and will have no further comment on the matter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"copyright |\">Copyright 2025 KCBD.
