Ohio State’s frustrations turned violent after an embarrassing, fourth straight loss to its rival Michigan Wolverines — one that is now costing both universities $100,000.
Instead of taking out its anger on Michigan during 60 minutes of football, Ohio State showed the most fight after the clock ran out. The result left some players and media representatives pepper sprayed by police, as well as the program facing criticism beyond what happened on the field.
“Following the game, officers from multiple law enforcement agencies assisted in breaking up an on-field altercation,” Ohio State Police said in a Saturday X post. “During the scuffle, multiple officers representing Ohio and Michigan deployed pepper spray. OSUPD is the lead agency for games & will continue to investigate.”
