Arizona State Fined $25,000 After Fans Storm Field Prematurely in BYU Victory

The chaotic ending of ASU's 28-23 win over BYU included a premature field storming, a 15-minute delay, and a Big 12 fine, with further investigations underway.

  • Arizona State University was fined $25,000 by the Big 12 Conference after fans stormed the field before the conclusion of their 28-23 win over BYU on Saturday.
  • The game was delayed for 15 minutes as officials cleared the field and reinstalled the goalposts to allow BYU to attempt a final Hail Mary, which ultimately fell short.
  • ASU athletic director Graham Rossini acknowledged the incident and stated that a donor had stepped up to cover the fine, urging fans to support the university’s NIL collective instead of rushing the field in the future.
  • The Big 12 is also investigating a leaked halftime video from BYU's locker room, recorded by an unauthorized individual, raising concerns about stadium security and privacy.
  • ASU, now ranked No. 14, faces Arizona in the Territorial Cup this weekend, with a potential Big 12 Championship Game berth on the line depending on tiebreaker scenarios.
