Utah fans stormed the field at Rice-Eccles Stadium on Saturday night after the Utes defeated BYU in the latest edition of the Holy War rivalry. The celebration prompted questions about potential fines from the NCAA or the Big 12 Conference for violating field-storming policies.
The game took place on November 7, 2026. While the final score was not immediately disclosed, the victory marked another chapter in the storied rivalry between the two Utah programs. Conference rules typically impose fines on institutions whose fans enter the playing surface before the game has officially concluded.
Officials have not yet announced the specific penalty amount. Previous incidents in the Big 12 have resulted in fines ranging from $25,000 to $100,000 depending on the severity and repeat occurrences.
