First-year member Texas faces a $250,000 fine from the Southeastern Conference after fans interrupted Saturday night's game against Georgia by throwing water bottles, beer cans and other debris onto the field.
The SEC announced sanctions against Texas on Sunday. The university will also "be required to use all available resources, including security, stadium and television video, to identify individuals who threw objects onto the playing field or at the opposing team."
