For Ok. St. for in appropriate chants about Mormons

And for UNC for the way they handled the court storming over Duke.
What's comical is that they had to clear the court after first court storm to see how much time was left on the clock. Then when time final expired again 0.4 sec later, they stormed again. So ridiculous to me.

I'm ok with this. I do think college kids push the limits at times (and I was personally part of the chants of "F U Billy" when Tubbs was coaching at OU...and he 100% earned it...and I'm 100% not sorry about it
), but insulting a religion is crossing the line. I do take pride at some of the more clever things KU fans have done that have been 100% spot on, but not offensive.
The time that the kids put together a huge image of the "Tragic Prelude" painting of John Brown when Mizzou came to Lawrence was among the best things ever in my opinion. Tagging Missouri as a "slave state' responsible for the deaths of innocent people by way of a historical painting that I'm sure some fans had to google to understand was classic.
Nevertheless, I think it's totally acceptable for the league to fine a school when they cross the line or disrupt the game.

Except the perpetrators are the ones being fined. Not really sure how the punishment gets transferred to them.
