Another Saturday, and more fans throwing trash on the field.
The NCAA, conferences, someone, needs to end this bullshit.
Last night featured those gentile Clemson fans throwing a tantrum.
It's time to penalize the crowd.

I was puzzled by Dabo's effort to win at the end. It's like he was hoping they would lose and light
a fire under them if they get in the finals of their conference. Yes, those fans are nice when they are winning but like Michigan fans go the other way when they struggle. Still fan behavior is fast becoming a reflection of current behavior of people in our country.
Should be a 15 yard penalty and empty the stadium. Do that once and it will end.

Unenforceable. What if it's a neutral site game...
A bunch of fans throw bottles on the field after a controversial call. Replay to see exactly what fan threw what?
its time to end conf affiliation with refs,
have natl refs properly trained
Refs are human both susceptible to human error and sadly bias too.

Exactly. The sport needs to go all in with the nfl style season format
The few super conferences will be hesitant to hand off any control of anything.

The Texas fans set a terrible precedent that others are following now.

Wrong! The refs who overturned a non-renewable call after TX fans threw shit on the field
are the ones who set the terrible precedent.
We have seen angry fans throw shit on the field in years past, but it never became 'the thing' to do became refs never fraudulently overturned a call after fans did that before.
This is not speaking to the correctness of the call, the initial PI call was terrible, in fact the more correct call would have been offensive PI on Georgia, so when they reversed the PI they actually got the call right....BUT you still can't do it, PI isn't reviewable and there's no way you'll convince me or anyone else who was watching that it wasn't "reviewed" on the jombotron during the delay caused by the fans throwing shit on the field.
Now it's a thing because everyone thinks if a call is bad enough, you just throw shit on the field and maybe they'll correct it like they did for Texas.
PI penalties get overturned and flags get picked up all the time

ND stadium has zero tolerance for throwing objects yet stadium ushers don't enforce the policy.
Plastic water bottles, these little miini plastic bottles of booze, apples, frozen marshmallows. Sometimes it reaches the field. Sometimes it hits fans, cheerleaders, NBC camerman,security, ushers, marching band members, and yes, even the team bench. Very little if any enforcement by ushers or security. It's the student section that are the problem. Things around the country might get worse before it gets better. We will see.
They were throwing snowballs at the Syracuse game. We didn't participate.

Yep, the snowballs. I was hit a few times but I was wearing a hooded winter coat so no damage. LOL

Remember in the 80’s fans were throwing snow balls at a Bengals game and Sam Wyche grabbed a mic and
said “You don’t live in Cleveland!” Classic!!
Is it time to stop the yearly barrage of marshmallows?

Yes, so many students of ours are there for a good time and don't prioritize winning being the main
goal.
No! It's a Senior Day tradition. So is storming the field for no reason.
