Overview

  • Colorado learned from the Big 12 that no fine will be assessed for fans rushing Folsom Field after the 24-17 win over No. 22 Iowa State, per a report cited by The Sporting News.
  • Viral clips showed a student briefly pinned under a lowered goal post and Iowa State receiver Chase Sowell retrieving his helmet from a fan before walking away.
  • Sowell posted that he and his family are fine and said both athletic directors contacted him with apologies as they work through the incident.
  • Deion Sanders praised the on-field celebration and joked about fans chipping in if there were a fine, comments he made before the conference’s decision.
  • The footage aired nationally, including on Fox & Friends, and renewed scrutiny of fan behavior after recent Colorado penalties for BYU-related chants and a prior field-storming fine.
