Overview

  • Colorado was informed on Oct. 15 that no penalty would follow the Oct. 11 field rush after the 24-17 win over No. 22 Iowa State.
  • Postgame videos showed a fan briefly pinned under a goal post and a Colorado supporter tugging at Iowa State receiver Chase Sowell’s helmet.
  • Sowell later said he and his family were fine, noting both athletic directors reached out with apologies regarding the helmet incident.
  • Colorado had recently added security measures at Folsom Field, including more personnel and undercover officers, as part of updated fan-behavior protocols.
  • The ruling comes weeks after a $50,000 Big 12 fine for derogatory chants against BYU and a $25,000 field-storming fine last season, while Deion Sanders voiced support for controlled celebrations.
