The policy, enacted this season, applies to both football and basketball and is aimed at protecting the well-being of student-athletes, coaches, officials, and fans. It outlines escalating fines for repeated violations\u2014$50,000 for a first offense, $100,000 for a second, and $200,000 for each subsequent offense.
