After the game on November 30th, the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Michigan Wolverines engaged in a heated altercation. Michigan secured a narrow 13-10 victory, and in celebration, they planted a flag at the center of Ohio State’s field logo. This gesture angered Ohio State players who rushed to the scene, resulting in a full-blown brawl.
Despite no players being banned, the Big Ten Conference fined both teams $100,000 each. The controversy over the flag-planting celebration continued, with many arguing it should be a punishable offense.
Ohio state the only ones at fault here
