The Big Ten Conference on Sunday fined Ohio State and Michigan $100,000 each in the wake of a wild postgame skirmish that mirrored other ugly, unsportsmanlike endings across college football.
2 Ohio State, 13-10 on Saturday, Wolverine players with the school's flag converged at midfield of Ohio Stadium where they were met by Buckeyes who took offense to the visitors' celebration.
Big Ten Network reporter Stephanie Otey said she was among the bystanders hit with the irritant.
A similar flag-planting brouhaha broke out in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, after NC State's 35-30 win over the Tar Heels.
Players from both teams rushed to midfield and appeared to be separated without any fists thrown.
